Heck no. Countries run by dictators have no claim on anything.

From what I read, the tag was legally issued, the hunt

If he paid $60k for a legal hunt, how is he supposed to know if it is illegal?

The tax preparer goes to jail. You are responsible for any penalties or tax

I'm not talking about a preparer. I'm talking about someone giving you advice

Big cats are always "lured" in. Thats the way you hunt them.

Not illegal to bait animals in Zimbabwe.

uh, the lion was baited out of the refuge with food by the guides ...

Which is why the guides are being prosecuted

True but if he, the hunter, was aware of the illegallity as well (we don't know)

Agreed that he is accountable if he knew about it, but I don't think they need

It was illegal to shoot the animal whether or not it was on the refuge.

from what I read the fact that the lion had a gps collar meant it was not legal

According to CNN today it is legal to shoot a collared animal in Zimbabwe.

Not a serious comparison.
