Lion hunter

I didn't see anything posted about it but if I missed it, y'all can erase this one. What do you think of the fallout behind the killing of Cecil lion?

This article is worth reading.... especially the last paragraph

if what the outfitter did is true, that's a pretty shi**y move on his part and I hope they punish him appropriately, the fact that the Lion was crippled and killed 40 hours later is also something that bothers me, but it happens in hunting. The attack on the hunter via Social Media is disgusting.........other than that I'll wait to hear the rest of the facts.

I think a lot of blame is on the "outfitters" the hunter wouldn't really know the area but the outfitters knew the lion was on a preserve

The guy has a "history" with game violations but I'm thinking he didn't know what he was doing was wrong in this case only...
