Not Cecil.

quote:

The joint statement said Theo Bronkhorst, a professional guide with Bushman Safaris, is believed to have lured the lion to Honest Trymore Ndlovu’s farm, where it was killed. Its carcass was discovered days later by trackers, the statement said.

During a nighttime pursuit, the hunters tied a dead animal to their car to lure the lion out of a national park, said Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force. Palmer shot it with a bow and arrow, injuring the animal. The wounded lion was found 40 hours later and shot dead with a gun, Rodrigues said in the statement.

The lion was skinned and beheaded. The hunters tried to destroy the lion’s collar, fitted with a tracking device, but failed, the statement said.

If that is what happened this group should be prosecuted as poachers.

I have no problem with legal lion hunts.

All these mouth breathers who are so upset yet never before this story have never done anything whatsoever regarding conservation yet attempt to out outrage the other.

Hunting and Hunters do more for conservation than anything else. This was a mistake by the hunter and illegal activity by the guides and land owners. Sometimes people are arse holes and do bad stuff. Doesn't change that these hunts in Africa if done correctly are needed and help conservation through pop. Control and monetary resources.
