The authorities are saying that once the hunters realized the lion was wearing a GPS collar as part of research backed by Oxford University they tried to destroy it. And the hunt was not fully legal, that why they are trying to track down Palmer. He's been arrested in the past for illegally killing a black bear too.

Individual details for this particular lion doesn't take away the fact that it's legal to hunt and kill big game in Africa. I'll retract my statement about what dentist prick did though.

This is one of those stories that just leaves me all around depressed. I can't say I can empathize with the dentist because he spent what I make in 2 years just to kill something for no other reason than "hey, I've got money so that makes it okay", but I am also finding myself very weary of the Internet Hate Machine mob. Given he's been in trouble for illegally hunting before, I think it's safe to assume he knew what his guides were up to but figured he could feign ignorance if/when he got caught. Other than that I don't know what else to say other than if you have money you can pretty much do whatever you want, and isn't that some shocking revelation.
