Reality is none of us here (at least the ones who have commented) really know the ecology, culture or legality of the situation over there and are predominantly basing our comments on a few articles from reporters, who by nature, will have sensationalised details and probably left out details to get their story looking attractive. Haters gon' hate! But shit son who the hell are we to dictate what's right and wrong. I'd have one of those on my wall if it was kosher with the locals, legal and wasn't endangered - just as we would be OK if a foreign hunter came and legitimately hunted one of our Red, Tahr or Chamois to have as a trophy. It wasn't a cub, it wasn't a mother feeding and it wasn't even a young male. Reality is we don't really know the full story and are being suckered but the real crooks - the media!

As long a we maintain our ethics, and it appears she does too, so be it.
Long live that incredible species of big cat, and coherently, long live our God given right to hunt on this planet.
Although, as I said before, I would love to see her carry that out of the park!
That article is great Doug - cheers
Rant over.
