Actually, that lion hunt was completely legal & despite what a lot of people believe, probably results in better wildlife management than a lack of hunting. (More later; class is about to start.)
Legality doesn't even matter (especially since there's a ton of shady dealing in big game hunting), canned hunts are legal lots of places, its still a pathetic chicken shit thing to do.
That might be true but that certainly is not why they let people hunt them, they do it for money. You can argue that enables them to better protect and conserve the animals but that's quite debatable since they often have the animals contained to such a degree you can't even consider them still wild.
Want to be a real badass? Go over there to fight the ivory poachers. Then you'd have a shot at the greatest trophy of all and actually do something to help conserve these animals.
You mean that one that was the basis for the GatD movie. I have no doubt that it was.
Two lions killed people. They needed to be hunted down. Also if the people they hired to hunt those lions failed they could also hypothetically have been killed/eaten.
Which was my point if you're going to hunt for sport and not to eat; then if you're not hunting a particular animal that has shown a propensity to kill humans, then you're not really being a sporting sort.

No he's talking about the one the woman killed.
Not likely since most of these chickenshit big game hunters do it with ridiculously overpowered rifles from the safety of a vehicle while the animal is maybe even behind a fence. Often it'll be old or possibly sick as well, and that's if its not a total sham.
