Swish, do some research. The money that is raised through these hunts is put toward conservation.

That seems like a bold statement that's contrary to common sense. Can you please post a link to any evidence you have that shows that the money this jackass poacher spent on his hunt went to conservation and not to fund his guides ivory mansion on the Savannah?

Fox hunting is (close to) banned here, fox hunters say that too many foxes is bad for the natural habitat.... so by artificially culling them that's apparently good for the natural habitat. Justifications for killing animals etc.

That lion shouldn't have been shot, and I hope that a decent positive ruling is made to stop it going on.

Yes, culling them (how exactly is a predator killing a fox artificial?) is good for the environment because we've reduced the population of their other predators in those same regions. Same reason the elk in Yellowstone are healthier than ever since we put wolves back in Yellowstone. The weak, sick, and injured members of the herd are culled by the wolves.

Why do people think that humans are unnatural? We are here, we evolved here. Everything we do is how we interact with nature, naturally.

REALLY! OMG! I didn't know Fox hunting existed anymore. I know it was a HUGE part of the English culture at one point of time.

As for some of the bad stuff that happens in Africa, the poaching and illegal/legal hunting is least of anyones worries.

Horn of Africa, what a mess. That is all.....

Just come out and say it. This wouldn't have happened on red.

The solution is looking to be found within a legal framework...rules upon rules upon rules. Blue server couldn't effectively deal with this situation.

Pass a law, who cares? Not the hunters. Just makes them even more careful.

Guy broke the law whether he realized it or not he will have to face legal consequences.

Now my personal feelings aside should he be threatened and his family be threatened? Probably not

Do I hope something bad happens to him? emotionally probably but rationally no.

As someone who feels animals should only be hunted to control over population or for food. I find his behavior abhorrent. I feel they should lock him away for a long time as what he hunted was neither legal or for survival.
