Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force charity, said: "Palmer shot Cecil with a bow and arrow but this shot didn't kill him. They tracked him down and found him 40 hours later when they shot him with a gun. The hunters then found that the dead lion was wearing a tracking collar, which they unsuccessfully tried to hide."

No, I get thats what they did. I was asking if charges would have been filed if they just called it in and were like, "Oops, didn't know this lion had a tag... Sorry."

Poachers who are caught should be thrown into a cage with a big cat, (preferably a leopard) like Lysimachus.

If they win they go free and a they're give a golden trophy of their brass balls.

the majority of poachers are poor locals looking for food and when they are caught they are executed

Yea they would have been charged because they intentionally lured him out of the protected area so that it was "legal".

Nah, he killed it because he wanted to and paid money to do it. May not be a reason you like, but was still a legal reason and justification until they lured it out of the reserve and messed with the GPS tracker. Does anyone know if they just left the GPS intact and called the proper authorities and said they shot it by mistake if there would have been any charges or anything?

he killed it for nothing

there was some japanese dude that went to Iraq during the 80s to fight the soviets with the muhajadeen just to see how hard he was and hung out with them teaching them karate and poo poo. he said 'how can I expect to be a warrior if I don't face death?'

when those japanese got captured by ISIS recently he said 'well they hosed up. you always carry a grenade to kill yourself with. they are a disgrace to japan.'

If some dentist killed an african child this would be out of the news cycle already, what's the big deal? Can't we just take lion dna and make more once our, uhh, gene synthesis labs are fully functional?

Literally any money or awareness of this event could have been used to prevent african children from dying of malaria, ~$3300 per life saved, but nope we gotta care about lions and spend millions of dollars to protect a few lions instead because ???

Yeah maybe after all of the low hanging fruit of children dying from preventable diseases are exhausted, we can work on other important ethical causes, like adult humans dying from those diseases, or, uhh, lions, I guess.

(Most) people contribute to charity for the same reason they do spaceships - they want to feel good and talk about the good stuff they do, not actually do the most good possible.

I'm not mad, I just wish there was some way to frame "children are literally dying for no reason and you could have saved 6 of them for the price of your mitsubishi" as a bite-sized news morsel that people would swallow whole and do something about, but nope, we get lions and cancer research instead, I guess.
