This is the guy who lured Cecil the lion out of the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe (with two other local hunters) and shot him with a crossbow. The kill wasn't clean though and they had to track him for a further 40 hours where they then shot him with a rifle. They then skinned and decapitated him.

His defence that he didn't realise it was an illegal hunt is clearly a lie, as all animals in national parks are protected, and so by luring one out of a park was obviously illegal. As he has been on many such hunts before he would have been well aware of this.

I hope this story brings an end to all such trophy hunting. Only serial killers are known to keep trophies of their victims, so that gives an indication to the mindset of these people.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
