Well, maybe there IS a god after all... was this just chance, suicide, or directed by the hand of god? Too bad a few still had to die just to look for his parts. Not fair.

The title of the article alone was enough to make my day.

Glad the monster is gone! Killing animals is not a great way to go through life!

The guy was a professional hunter who organized hunting trips. He was engaged in a legitimate business and licensed by his government which has management control over the resources within its jurisdiction. Trophy hunting is used by some African governments to maintain management control of the excess population of some animals. In all, the article is an example of the logical fallacy, "an appeal to emotion."

So, maybe it's long overdue to have some "management control of the excess population of some" humans.
@Charlie (mtnhome) Please...there is not one trace of evidence for any "god" or superpower.
You're agnostic, remember?
And it is fair...it's called "population density pressure"...every organism - from fruit flies to rats to us - has a limit of population - beyond which they become hostile, asexual, hoarding, and aggressive. Proven repeatedly.

Now the "god"part WAS tongue-in-cheek... you knew that! 
Karma? Or another stupid fool like Steve Irwin. [en.wikipedia.org]

No god involved. It was pure karma. He killed his fellow animals, so his fellow animals killed him.

Every story about people who hang in the wild with dangerous, carnivorous species, seems to end this way.
I wonder if he was thinking his trophies were worth it while he was being eaten.

As a "professional hunter" (look it up, in the context of African trophy hunting), he was not the one who was shooting the animals..."professional hunter" is the common term for "guide" on the hunting preserves.
@dahermit 'professional hunter'; I didn't realize what the term referred to. Thank you. Now that term to me will equal coward and the person doing the actually killing will now be a real fucking asswipe.
That said I realize there is licensing of people who are employed to help very wealthy people go get there wall decorations and those funds help pay for the conservation and management of herds. Hopefully the meat is used to feed the hungry. I suppose I should just be glad they have yet to be able to put a positive spin on those images taken at the end of the trophy hunt. Dead animal with grinning hunter holding the weapon.
@silverotter11 "Hopefully the meat is used to feed the hungry." Look up the word "biltong". Also note that trophy hunting in the African countries is one of the ways those governments support themselves. If there were no government protection of the animals to promote sport hunting, the natives would have rendered virtually all the Africans species to extinction.
