"They went hunting at night with a spotlight, and they spotted Cecil," Rodrigues said. "They tied a dead animal to their vehicle to lure Cecil out of the park, and they scented an area about half a kilometer from the park," or about 550 yards.

Rodrigues said that Palmer shot Cecil with an arrow but failed to kill him. Then the two men tracked Cecil, finding him about 40 hours later and shooting him to death with a gun, Rodrigues said.

They discovered that he had been fitted with a GPS collar and tried to destroy it, Rodrigues said.

Cecil was skinned and beheaded, Rodrigues said. Contrary to earlier reports, he said, the head has not been found.

I think I'd rather see him bleed from an arrow wound for forty hours with no painkillers or medical attention, while running for his life.

It's for a perfectly good reason, especially if the killer had never shot a dentist before, and his social club could check off a box.

big game hunting can be a legitimate way for rich whites to funnel some money back to poor people, and can fund conservation by giving those poor people a stake in the local environment

but then this dumbass went out of his way to gently caress up in every way he could, and killed an animal way more valuable alive than dead

Oh please, especially lion big game hunting is proven to be extremely destructive to the local environment, cause the loss of a dominant male leads to succession fights over the territory/pride and possibly the death of more lions, especially cubs.

5) I hear you.
It should be mandatory to eat any animal that you murder.

If you just shoot something so that it dies, gently caress you. If you eat the animal, I'm okay with that. gently caress it, eat a goddamned panda. I would.

That happens as part of the natural culture of lions. Dominant males are driven off and/or die all the time. Cecil was near the end of his projected lifespan. His death was hugely, grossly, offensively wrong, but it won't lead to a different outcome than would be projected in the near future. There are a lot of reasons to object to what this particular man did, but hunting dominant male lions extends throughout the entire oral history of the Maasai and is something cat populations can withstand in moderation. Habitat loss and bullshit poaching, however, no way. Cats reproduce very successfully when pressures are off, but god knows white people can't do anything in moderation.

In my mind pandas taste like marshmallows and I'm not going to eat one because I don't want to ruin it.

Instead of shooting the large cat with the help of a spotlight wouldn't it be more fun to give it the cardboard box a refrigerator is shipped in and watch it do cat and box things with the help of a spotlight?

The most fun thing to do with a lion is pet him and call him a good lion. speakin from experience.

"Palmer, whose whereabouts were unknown yesterday, said in his statement that he has not heard from U.S. or Zimbabwean authorities.

In 2008, he pleaded guilty to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin, according to court documents.

He had a hunting permit but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, records show.

He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000."

Roughly 3c of every dollar spent by hunters makes it to the local communities.

Also

quote:

The Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University has tracked the Hwange lions since 1999 to measure the impact of sport hunting beyond the park on the lion population within the park, using radar and direct observation.
According to figures published by National Geographic, 34 of their 62 tagged lions died during the study period – 24 were shot by sport hunters.
