        Lions are assholes, male lions will kill any cub they come across that is not their own. This hunter probably saved a dozen by killing one ☺

        If you understand how conservation works this hunter had to pay alot of money to hunt. All of it will go to supporting the local community

        Clearly you dont even understand the meaning "Conservation", people pay a lot of money to protect those animals.

        Why can't those millionaires spend their money to preserve these beautiful endangered animals? Sorry there is no excuse.

        Without the dollar value placed on the animals for hunting, there would be no reason to have them, money from hunting IS what protects them.

        So then why are so many of our wild life endangered? Your comment makes no sense.

        Trophy hunters need to die . Brutally by a pride of lions or stampede of elephants

        Xanda was far more handsome as a living being than a corpse. If you want to shoot something get a camera.

        lions = sheep = pigs = chickens = cows, no animal deserves to die by human greed - if U really care for animals you wouldn't eat them either

        Greed and lack of education. Tourism would bring much more money sustainably but this is quicker and easier.

        There is no more cowardly type of man than a trophy hunter. What absolute garbage.
