This bloke should be locked up his for antics, he claims to have done nothing wrong but tried to destroy the GPS collar to cover his tracks.
Losers are a magnificent beast, 6 cubs condemned to die and important tourist revenue for a poor African country.

The man is loathed throughout the world and rightly so, he has previous form and claims he did not know that the lion was protected despite driving close to the reserve with a dead animal strapped to his vehicle. Can't see him working as a dentist again unless under another name. Should Zimbabwe bring charges I hope the U.S would extradite him but seems very unlikely.

This dentist is nothing but a sadistic killer, I would be quite happy to see him similarly hunted for the rest of his horrible life.
I can understand hunting for food or if an animal is a danger to others but it should never be for the fun of it.

Not much chance of him being prosecuted in Zim because that would knock the big game hunting earner for corrupt officials neatly on the head.

Plenty more where he came from. More than we can say for the animals.

The Zimbabwe environment minister is calling for the extradition of the American dentist.

Seems to be a thing with US healthcare professionals.

Perhaps there is a God after all!
What a brave guy, taking out animals with no doubt a high powered telescopic rifle, such skill, fun and ingenuity. I can only assume that people like him must suffer from some personal inadequacy down below and need to kill easy prey in order to reinforce in their own minds their "manly" status?
No loss to humanity whatsoever in my opinion.

I have long wondered about the mentality of these so called hunters, what they have in common is a lot of spare dosh and about one brain cell between the lot of them. They all post photos of themselves on social media grinning over the body of what was a beautiful animal then wonder why they have to go to ground because of the resultant death threats. I saw one of a "young lady" grinning over the body of a Giraffe that she had shot while it was nursing her calf. Ricky Gervais summed it up perfectly by saying "what could have happened in her life to make her get pleasure out of that"?
