some dude killed a lion and he paid 50,000 to do it. If it wasn't for hunters like him paying for hunts like that Cecil wouldn't even be around. I hope to go to Africa as well some day, and I want to go there to hunt. The dude had no idea it was some tree huggers pet he shot. He was sorry the animal was beloved. A lot of what is being claimed is alleged anyway. I think all the PETA need thank their lucky stars that hunters put more into conservation of endangered species than they do.
