No animal deserves professional courtesy that wouldn’t give professional courtesy itself.
What a bunch of nonsense you are spewing.

Did you miss the part that i said that if an predator went after me that i would drop it before it got to me?
I just think that we shouldn’t go out of our way to kill things like Lions because we feel like it would look nice on our wall in the den. We should have a damned good reason for doing so. But this is a personal OPINION, you know how I drive a Chevy and you may drive a Ford and there is no law telling you that you should buy a Chevy.
The whole “professional courtesy” thing I mentioned means that as the smarter/smartest of the top predators that god created we should respect and revere the other top predators that have been placed on this planet by our creator.
It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t shoot a man eating lion who is killing villagers or a tiger that is stalking villagers in India, or a bear that is killing campers in the Rockies because some idiot hippie has been feeding the bears from their back porch.
If the animal is killing and hurting humans then by all means put them down swiftly and quickly.
But let’s try not go out of our way to kill a top predator unless we are doing so in accordance with being a “good steward” of the land. If a trophy hunt is funding a preserve and will see that more cute lion cubs get born next year then heck that Lion head on your wall looks pretty good to me, but honestly, luring one off a reserve to kill it with a slow acting bow and arrow for supposed “sport”, that is just jackassery plain and simple. Heck, i would have had more respect for the dentist had he dropped the thing with a real gun and Cecil dropped where he was shot. But intentionally using a weapon where even the best shot is by no means a guaranteed quick kill, that is just being cruel in my OPINION.
