Consequences for Cecil's killers
#1
The dentist is getting off free of charge, but the guides involved are not. They have been charged. I wouldn't count on the charges sticking, but the charges have had a serious impact on their lives and the lives of those associated with them. It is possible that their business will never recover. There are plenty of others who will take people trophy hunting, but they will be more careful if they know they can be charged. Lions with radio collars have been shot before. In future that might not seem like such a good idea.

Right now guiding trophy hunters has been a good secure business. Lots of people are involved in it because it seems like a good way to make money. If there is a risk of jail time for any reason it will not look like such a desirable job. Maybe people will look for other ways to make money. Maybe they will look for other ways to make money from the animals. You can only kill a lion once, but you can guide thousands of eco-tourists to see him for many years to come. I hope they start to think this through and realize that trophy hunting is like burning your house down to keep warm. It is not a good idea on so many levels.
