Perhaps we can create a dodo using Jurassic Park techniques and he can shoot that as well.

It would be a shame if someone in America got upset and shot the fooker wouldn't it?

I know I would be very sad at someone taking him as a trophy....

PS From my experience all dentists appear to be utter winkers.

I hope his business fails due his customers going somewhere else.

There is no place for big game hunting in 2015.

I don’t condone hunting for sport, but a small part of me feels for this guy as he believes he broke no laws, (assuming that he did not know the tactics used by the guides)

If all the energy directed towards him was instead turned to pressure on the authorities to change / abolish the sale of licenses would that not better protect the animals?

Naming and shaming has the same effect.

I dont think it would.

The authorities sell licenses becasue the demand is there. If they withdraw licenses then hunting would simply drop off the radar and result in more illegal hunts / poaching. The license fees also contribute a lot to the running of game reserves and anti-poaching operations.

Remove the demand and there would be no need for licenses.

so either way the money would dry up.

If they stopped hunting and issued photography only licenses any idiot in the park with a weapon becomes fair game.

Because something may be legal, it does not make it right. Slavery was legal but most people knew it was wrong. Wife beating is legal in some countries. FGM is legal in most countries and kids are taken out the UK to have it done; is that OK too?
