I don't think the whole story has been told. Big game hunting is very expensive and to hunt a lion is a once in a lifetime event. If he did something wrong then let the chips fall where they may, but if not, let's not judge so quickly. Let's also remember that lions, I don't care how well they are known are never tame. If I remember correctly a person in africa found this out by just trying to take a picture of a lion and ended up dead.
