sad news, and even sadder is that he'll probably get away with it, though he'll get drawn and quartered in the court of public opinion. He's working with a public relations firm(?). Seems he anticipated getting caught.

I'm just disgusted by this story and wondering where it will go for the mighty hunter / dentist.
He claims innocence in knowing this particular lion was special and trusted his guides to procure a legal animal to 'take', but common...it's a lion for crying out loud. IT's endangered.
What's the draw?
Why does a person seek to destroy?
What does 'taking' a trophy like this symbolize for someone like this dude?
What a DICK!

I would never trust a doctor with a lions head on their wall. What a total evil creature he is...

Other reports are stating that they baited this lion to get it to leave the park. Then after shooting it with the bow had to track it for forty hours before finding it alive and putting it down with a gun. They then realized it was collared and attempted to destroy the collar. Sounds like it was all on the up and up to me. Frickin' idjit!

Thanks for correcting me on the endangered status or the ways of getting around it regarding lions Ron.
Endangered or not I still think hunting for a trophy is not right unless you are consuming the meat.
Capt. that is very sad the dentist could not make a clean kill
--edit: wow, Tami right on

I was going to add something, but Tami pretty much covered it. What kind of sick bastard thinks this is is something to brag about?

I can vouch for how hard it is to see if a male lion is wearing a collar. If it is a mature individual with a full mane it is quite difficult to see the collar. Just a fact I know very well.

So this guy is a great humanitarian for the African people? Wow, what was I thinking! Let's get more rich Dentist out there to lure lions into killing range so we can help the natives!

Tami has all bases covered except one.
This guy is one of the biggest pieces of sh#t on the planet. Waste of skin. I hope he loses his entire practice. He's lost everything else. not that he had much.

The mentality of the trophy hunter is completely selfish.
They kill to decorate and adorn.

He's got the the memory of watching a lured lion die from an arrow wound he inflicted. So satisfying....

So.... If a squirrel bounces across my lawn after leaving a protected area and I... with permits in hand shoot it, then what?
Baiting lions on hunting concessions/ private property is legal in Zimbabwe. Did he hunt in the protected area?
Because he wounded the lion and followed it for 40 hours to finish it sounds like something I would do if I had wounded a deer or elk.
What law did he break, just curious maybe I missed something.?

He is being charged with poaching. On top of that, who enjoys the prolonged death of an animal you don't even eat?

Ok, they all suck.
What is your point Ron?
Is there anything good about this scenario?
Guided trips to kill animals you don't eat is repulsive to me.

Interesting Ted Talk on the subject (trophy killing lions in Botswana). I have lived in Zimbabwe, many Americans seem unaware of the struggles to protect wildlife in such places. The link below may help you understand some of the conservation issues much of Africa faces. Just some information!
Don't slay me for passing along info!
