Point is, it was actually more than a few miles away and he knew better. As far as paying the price goes, he got off easier than paying $20,000. He paid a few thousand in fines and received a year probation. Pocket change to someone like him. While I don’t agree with threats, I do see a pattern with his bad choices.…

“All his papers were in order.” We appreciated the bribe.

Uhhh this man is a convicted poacher who has lied to the Feds about poaching before. The fact he hasn’t been prosecuted here doesn’t tell us anything about what he thought. You have a terrible person as a hero.

Hunt - pursue and kill (a wild animal) for sport or food.

I dont need an internet dipshit like you to explain it since Ive been hunting for real a lot longer than you.

“yet somehow his particular case warranted death threats against him and his entire family.”

If you think thats hunting you are an idiot.

I find it really hard to believe that a hunter who travels the world to hunt animals didn't know he was actively participating in an illegal hunt.

He is not a hunter, he is a guy who kills things. He didnt hunt this, it was lured to him.

So the hunt he participated in was illegal but he isn’t being charged because why? I don’t know about there but in America ignorance isn’t a valid defense.

The fact that other members of the hunting parry were charged with a crime and here in America ignorance is not a valid defense.

Yeah but he still went out to deliberately hunt and kill a lion for pleasure, right?

I have no probelm with guns, when i want to go let off a few rounds i go to a shooting range and shoot at carboard cutouts. My Great gandfather was a hunter, Grandfather, and father, and they always told me, dont shoot anythign that you arent going to eat, beacause its just plain old stupid to make something suffer…

It was still illegal, he just isn’t being charged. In other words, I still say fuck him.

He’s still an asshole.

All his papers were in order, but it was an illegal hunt? Sounds like someone has been spreading some $$$$ around. And no need to apologize. This dentist is still a dirt-bag who gets his jollies killing animals that are on the verge of becoming endangered.
