if he committed a crime then no, not enough.
Yes, but statistics will show that countries that allow legal hunting only issue so many permits, and don't have so many poachers. They actually profit in revenue while maintaining healthy populations. They have motive to keep healthy populations and like any rancher, maintains them for profit.

There's no but
Statistics show that the lion population is getting very low.
like complain about feminist video game developers?
No, he should stand trial there for poaching charges. That will be enough.
You are looking a global stats. Please break that down to lions in Zimbabwe.
Did you know that in some regions, there was a "cat flu" epidemic wiping out 75 of the population? This was not caused by hunting.

Please notice how wide of range various studies have. We really don't have slid facts, and his is a activist site probably cherry picking what to post.
In 2012, a group of scientists used satellite data to estimate the size of African savannas where lions could live without being bothered by humans. They found that between 1960 and 2000, the available habitat shrunk by 2.2 million square kilometers, to about 9.7 million square km (about a 20% reduction), while the size of the lion population shrunk by 75%.
I wonder how widespread that "cat flu" was that wiped out 75% of the prides affected?
Ironically, while big game hunting is controversial, some conservationists have argued in favor of hunting preserves near national parks. The idea is to create some stream of income for locals that creates an incentive to protect lion populations. Other ways to make a living may just result in more human-lion conflict.
Looks like Zimbabwe is doing just this, in allowing the hunts and laws they have.
Please cite what Zimbabwe law we charge him under.
yep, raise lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, etc like cows, pigs, chickens, just to kill them for profit (and not even to eat).
Actually, the locals eat their meat.
Aren't you liberals suppose to be OK with other cultures? What about the hunting culture?
Your bigotry against hunters is on par with other people's bigotry of gays, Christians, etc.
You don't think there is a poaching law in Zimbabwe?
You're an idiot.
I see it as his responsibility stopping at paying a licensed hunting guide. The guide was licensed to keep things proper.
[QUOTE=Wild Cobra;8151116]You are looking a global stats. Please break that down to lions in Zimbabwe.
right, I'm looking at global stats. 32k left in the entire world is extremely low
Of course you do.
i repeat, zimbabwe is a meme country. no one is getting extradited.
And if Zimbabwe's lion population is growing because of legal hunting and caretaking to support the business, should it be stopped?right, I'm looking at global stats. 32k left in the entire world is extremely low
Awe shucks.
You take all the fun out of it.
I like the idea of letting Palmer fear of extradition.
yeah sorry libcucks this white man won't be getting extradited to coonland and being publicly lynched. i know that's what you guys want for all whites worldwide but it isn't happening.
Trophy hunting isn't the problem as your article points out. My question to those who are against legal trophy hunting is what is your solution to save the species if you eliminate the trophy tags? How will you recoup all of the lost private lands that were opened up because of hunting allowing the species more room to roam and increase their numbers? What will be the incentive for land owners to stop illegal poaching now that they won't be able to charge for legal hunts? How will the 200+ million dollars lost from legal trophy hunting be replaced in those regions?
Shooting wild game out of season, and out defined areas is a crime in USA, aka poaching.
The less dentist already lied about shooting a bear 40 miles from hunting area, and got convicted.
I figure his beautiful teeth will rot or get kicked out in a ZW prison.
