Here’s my perspective. Predators cause a lot of suffering and pain, especially to young animals who cannot protect themselves.
Therefore, they can be hunted. Often. For any reason.
If they're predators. Cecil the lion was chased out of a preserve, which is a place that strives to protect animals and keep balance in nature.
Another issue concerning hunting. What's the justification for shooting deer? That they're predators against chrysanthemums?
