Notice how no responsibility is placed on the various African governments for protecting their own wildlife.
Cecil died because of Mugabe’s corrupt regime caring solely about plunder.

Who’s Really Responsible for the Killing of Zimbabwe’s Lions and Other Wildlife?
http://time.com/3976344/cecil-lion-zimbabwe-walter-palmer/
Until 2000 Zimbabwe had a successful wildlife-management program, with many big-game animals flourishing. But by 2003, a staggering 80% of the animals that had lived on Zimbabwean safari camps (which employed firm quotas to regulate animal population sizes) had died. By 2007, there were only 14 private game farms in the country, compared with 620 prior to the land seizures of 2000, according to a National Geographic report. With the protection of private game reserves nearly nonexistent, once abundant wildlife began dying off, hunted by desperate farmers with no other options for sustenance.
