Fairly certain.
I do not believe you are supposed to bait the animal according to their “rules” however from what I understand the dentist did not have anything to do with that part of the hunt. He basically was lead out to the spot to shoot the lion. I do not know whether or not the animal was baited but he was an older animal that was probably on the down hill slide.
Do you have any knowledge of how these type of hunts “work”?
Serious question not sarcasm or condescending at all just curious if you do because I know most people have no idea.
You are correct SCI has done and will continue to do much good. They are the greatest proponents of proper hunting and conservation. There members spend a ton of money to ensure generations to come can hunt as they have.
I assume your “glad” should have been “sad”?
oh, yes, I understand that the PH did the baiting...not the dentist. feel bad for the dentist...and in that regard seems like SCI was not fair?
I can’t say I know for sure...but I did “read on the internet” that Cecil was baited to leave his property and go where he would get shot....
And yeah, if it weren’t for these hunts, lions - and other big game - would probably be endangered! (I do feel like I understand how they work...used to fantasize about going on them....that said...if you want to relay your experience, I’m all ears, b/c I find it very exciting!).
