Show me how much the public (and Stewie) cared about that animal, and donated to support his conservation and that of his herd/pride/family prior to the kill. The public is in general frickin retarded. You see our elected officials, chosen by "the public" lately?

For the record...I hope he rots away in prison, either in the US but preferably Africa
I don't think anyone here is going to argue that he committed a crime. Even if he didn't see the collar (which is possible), by cutting it off and not reporting it to someone he's guilty of something. To want a human to rot in prison for the killing of an animal is ridiculous. The same people that do this argue the death penalty for crimes against other humans is inhumane.

Agree

He essentially signed the death warrant for nearly twelve cubs, furthering endangering a species on the brink of collapse.
This is 100% speculation. You a biologist specializing in African game management?

Actually, it's fairly well-known that a new alpha male lion usually kills the cubs of the previous alpha. They aren't really the adopting type. The basis of this behavior is that when the females lose their cubs, they begin the breeding cycle with the new alpha, hence his genes take over the area.

That's part of the problem, incidents like this can lead to wacky regulation because they are emotionally charged.
Yeah, I hope he has to pay for his crime.
