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?

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.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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?
