Without (costly) controlled hunting in Africa the poachers would wipe everything out. People paying huge amounts to hunt game is what funds the conservation efforts.
I don’t know if this guy knew anything about this particular lion, perhaps he did, but I doubt it. Could be he’s a victim of an unscrupulous PH, guide, and land owner.
