It was a dirty kill, Cecil suffered for 40 hours before they chased him down and finished him off. That man has a lot to be deeply ashamed of.
He's a Republican, so he is incapable of any shame. We'll have to hope that losing his practice makes him poor enough that canned hunts of endangered animals are a thing of the past.
Trophy hunting was vile in Teddy Roosevelt's day and it's gotten even worse. At least Roosevelt was hunting and exposing himself to danger. Now they bait semi tame animals into convenient spots to be shot by these goons.
(Do note that I am not anti hunter, people around here eat what they kill unless they're from out of state and only want a head or a skin)
