People don't see it for what it really is. Same reason people get all bent out of shape over big game hunting brown bear. They don't view the bear as something that will actively hunt cubs but rather a cute little bear with a funny hat that says "only you can prevent forest fires."
Charismatic megafauna. Bambi, smokey the bear, the Lion king, the list goes on and on. Yet nobody cries a foul when they have a hamburger or a pull pork sandwich. It's stupid.

The deer population has grown because what was open land for anyone to hunt, is now leased. Leased and covered with food plots in which to grow the population. Plus most hard core deer hunters now hunt with a bow where 50yds and over is not even attempted by most, therefore more deer make it through hunting seasons. And leave gun season to taking meat, or letting others like kids to trim the herd. I know several deer hunters who stop hunting by Christmas, because they begin in September. Their tired of it. I get tired of duck season about half way through the second split. Not because I don't enjoy duck hunting is because I have a freezer full, and there's no use to kill anymore. If there was a collar on this lion, obviously he was shot with a tranquilizer gun and this collar put on him. Why don't they do the same with these pay hunts. Let the dentist shoot the lion with a tranquilizer. Track him until he falls. Take pictures. Go home, let the lion live. Win motherfricking win. And another thing, if these lions are dangerous, why not let the people who live there decide the fricking lions fate. Not some dick from Dallas, who by the way has a unethical hunting past. He shouldn't even been allowed to hunt in the US, much less Africa.

chic-fil-a cows, babe, geico commercials... they can characterize anything to tie an emotional connection to it. I will still eat it, if it taste good.
