A Minnesota dentist is reported to have paid $55K to kill a famous lion in Zimbabwe. The lion was beheaded & skinned. Should he be extradited to face trial in Zimbabwe.
I see that African Lions are threaten, that doesn't make them illegal to kill though, does it? I thought only when they reached endangered does it become illegal?
The lion lived in some type of sanctuary or park and was lured out of it using bait so the guy could kill it. It wasn't supposed to be out in the wild and that's what makes it illegal in this case.
That makes the guy an asshole, but I don't see this any differently than a person killing any animal. We don't lynch people for killing deers and taking their pictures. He may not have known it was one that was protected.
