Comment by Twitter user Kevin Bishop reads, "What a pair of gutless creeps. The South African guide is the murderer the shooter is a mindless dumbfuck. How more disgusting can you get. Murdering a sleeping lion and then congratulating each other..it’s money and no humanity, these people stink."

Comment by Chris Fleming reads, "I can’t take this crap anymore you trophy hunters are weak spineless individuals - killing innocent animals because of ego- try that gun on me if you are so tuff! This is not a sport!!! I played football and baseball real sports!!! I’ll Smack you if I meet you!! Trophy hunting is the killing of wild animals for human recreation, mostly human requirements. While the act is considered gruesome, some, unfortunately, think of it as an act of pride.

According to the African Wildlife Foundation, the current rate of lion hunting and poaching could make the animals go extinct by the year 2050. It says that lions have lost 85% of their historic range 100 years ago. While 100 years ago, the lion population was approximately 200,000, it is estimated as less than 23,000.
