I don't understand all the uproar about this. Why is it not OK to shoot a lion but shooting a bear, warthog, moose, etc. is perfectly acceptable? If he had taken the lion's carcass home to make jerky out of would that make it alright? He paid $55,000 for a license to do this, it's not like he knowingly participated in an illegal hunt. Additionally, the money people pay to hunt big game like this typically goes towards funding the animal preserves. I doubt any of you are sending money to national parks in Africa-- at least this guy is actually helping to keep them open (even if it is in a very perverse way).
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not a hunter and have never been hunting. I just don't understand what all the fuss is about.
