That's my view. I support hunters, and even big African beasts have to be put down at times. But this hunting experience sounds screwy. Like when LBJ tied up a deer on his property and asked Hubert Humphrey to shoot it. Humphrey refused.
However, at the same time many of the people not only criticizing the dentist but threatening to kill him sound like people who love humanity but hate humans.
I think you are missing the point. Animals are food. Babies are humans. There is not law that says you cannot kill animals. Killing humans used to be illegal. In God’s eyes, every murderer will be judged severely, regardless of whether it has become legal.
Hunting, especially for subsistence is fine. Trophy hunting to put something on your wall to boost your ego is pathetic. There must be a better reason to kill one of God’s creatures than to prove your superiority.
