The carcass didn’t feed anyone; it was left to lay where it was tracked after 39 hours of agony.
Just the trophy was taken.
You have much to learn.

Stupid should burn.
You have NO clue how much pain the lion was in. The shot was not meant to wound him. Every hunter (excepting maybe the few hyper-morons) practices often and takes great pride in a kill-shot. The quicker the kill, the better. If his shot was off so much that the lion had to be tracked for another 40 hours, that could easily have meant that the first shot may have been nothing more than a nuisance to the lion. You have no idea, any more than I do, but your need to anthropomorphize the animal, because someone said that it had its name in the news here and there, makes it clear that you're emoting, and not thinking. If the dentist broke a law (by inducing the guides to tempt a "famous" lion out of its protected area... which seems unlikely, especially since he is openly admitting to the kill), then he should be punished appropriately... but all of this hand-wringing over a single kill, on a hunting safari, of a non-endangered animal that is legal to kill and is advertised as the focus of many hunting safaris, is simply ludicrous. It was a lion that someone gave a name, nothing more. Where did you whine about the numerous other lions that have been taken in the weeks since, that didn't have names and inches of newsprint? Oh, you didn't? Okay then, that shows what your actual focus is then, now doesn't it?
