So, lions existed a long arse time and did just fine on their own, man comes in and encroaches on their land, overhunts them, and then decides the only way to SAVE the lions is to kill more.
Same argument for deer. Deer have existed long before humans and did fine on their own until we go on their land. As we expanded we took more of their land. Only way we can save the population of deer is by killing an an alloted number relative to pupulation size. You cannot stop human expansio, you can curb species population to make it better for the population because of humans taking their territory.

More whitetail deer live in the US right now than ever before. The population has never been greater. This is because of hunters and the money generated by hunters to further research, habitat, and maintain healthy populations. Even with all the deer hunting, some areas still have issues with chronic wasting disease.

but why the emotional connection to A lion, if it hadn't been Cecil it would have been another mature male lion. Cecil just happened to pull the short straw.
Whether it was over hung bait, lured from a reserve, or killed with a Swiss Army knife, it is one dead lion. Conservation purpose served.
