This is how you shoot a lion from a national park. They lay on the ground sleeping, not even bothering to wake up as you drive up to them. Killing one would be no more sporting than shooting your neighbor's dog. I hope they are holding a special spot in the worst prison in Zimbabwe for the American dentist who killed the magnificent lion "Cecil" with a crossbow. The story is ongoing.
You are so right, Hal. Trophy hunters are the lowest of the low right up there with trappers! And, it's not just Cecil. Palmer acts like the only thing he regrets is shooting a lion who was named and was a local favorite. He could have cared less had it been another lion. And, to think they would lure a lion across the park line with bait is even more despicable! I hope he feels like he can never show his face in society at all!
Lovely lioness, by the way. Sorry to use your site to sound off, but, somehow I think you will forgive me.
