^some commentary on this.
wait, so she killed the animal FROM A DAMN VEHICLE !?
that's not even sport hunting, it's like driving through all the Marathon then getting out of the car and run the final 10 metres ...
i thought hunting from vehicles was forbidden everywhere (except for rangers).

I stand in the shadows waiting for you to return me to the light.

Note; If you only want to read a bit of what I say goto last paragraph...

When man or woman starts to over hunt nature, nature dies, and they feel little remorse, just look at her smug face... I mean if it's like big game hunting of a common species and lightly at that species like for say normal white tails in america there are too many, they are killing people, they are over breeding, they have no major threats other than man, yet everybody has a law where you only can hunt in a season most of the time...

However if it is the hunting of a endangered or threatened species like Africa/Asiatic lions then yeah that is a big as hell no am I right. Common and over reproducing animals in the most centeral idea is the best idea, but hunting a lion and killing it or killing elephants for ivory or killing them for game is a horrid idea.

I mean in a general sense if you hunt, okay, you hunt wildlife, okay, you hunt common game, okay, you use every or 90% of the parts except the bones maybe, great. I myself am not against hunting I mean lots of animals hunt however if you do not use your kill, your just nothing more than a murdering beast. At the most part keep the antlers, fur, and some meat for deer burgers.

But to get it short, I myself am not against hunting, however without hunting sportsmanship or even using it yeah your nothing more than a person doing genocide. But a vehicle shooting is like well what Furka said above me.

asiatic lion cannot be hunted ;)
to be honest the only country that can allow lion hunting is Tanzania, since it has the highest concentration of lions in the whole Africa and in many places they have started to hunt people because they got used to their presence.
but then, not like following them with a vehicle and shooting without even getting down of it.

First part yes treenbeard yes how dare a person kill a animal just for killing a animal and a endargered or threaten one at that.

Second part, Majestic maybe pushing it on a lion... Maybe a fearsome and elegant creature, but Majestic more of a hoofed mammal, Horses somewhat, type saying not lions. But yeah wonderful in the most sense.

I have to disagree, lions are NOT trophies, they belong on the savanna, not some D-bag's wall.
As for this trophy hunting b****, I fantasize about sliting her throat.
I will stop at nothing to put an end to African trophy hunting when I' become a zoologist, and I'll make groups like SCI wish they were never born.

then we should let people get eaten ? honestly i am all but a people lover, but i'd rather kill a few problematic lions before they tunr into man-eaters like Osama and kill dozens of people (and before you say lions kill people because we killed all their preys, that's not true).

It could be partially true in some cases, but yeah, much of the time I think they probably just find that they like the taste of people better. But anyway, hunting them for trophies like this b**** does for a living is NOT acceptable!

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

I really doubt we taste better but there are few animals easier to kill than an unarmed human being, and once an animal learns that, it doesn't forget.

There are risks predators don't really like to take with human beings, all three of the "man-eating lions" were killed and found to have tooth issues as well as a genetic marker or disease unknown to us that called them to be maneless despite all three being mature males.

Yeah, come to think of it I think I heard somewhere that most animals dislike the taste of people because our blood is too iron-rich, or something along those lines.

I'm pretty sure the Tsavo lions are merely part of a maneless subspecies where that's the norm, due to genetics and not any disease.

Well, that might be true. But the correlations they drew to man-eating lions is that they always have one of their incisors cracked and they're maneless.

Healthy lions without issues target natural prey unless they are starving.

Yeah, the Tsavo lions had their teeth in a horrible condition, which means humans were the only thing they could kill and eat.

I think that if lions are causing major problems such as humans being hunted by lions then no, those should be stopped because that is not a natural prey source and it should not be passed onto the next generation. Plus that would lead to a double sided problem for both man and animal, people die because of the animals, animals eat us and we can make the animals ill.

Also Slender.... What the hell is wrong with you, your acting like some psychopath, please stop that, it really is overkill. Plus like Furka said, we did not cause the problem entirely because there are plenty of food sources, however it is not the fact there is little prey, it is the fact the lions get bigger manes (Replace with male pride for humans) and they come in without fear of us.

It's like us when we first saw fire we were scared of it, then we learned we could use it to our advantage and we lost our major fear of it. Or the same goes with dogs and us, orginoally dogs were avoiding us then we tamed them and they lost their fear, same goes with most animals who live near humans soon enough they ignore the human threat and see them as food sources....
