I think the lion is magnificent in his charge, a great piece of film. I have no desire to hunt one but have nothing childish to say of those that do. Frankly if these animals are not hunted for money the local ranchers would probably wipe them out as pests. As regal as the male lion is, he is still a commodity in Africa.

On the other hand one could say that it was a good death. He was strong to the end and will not suffer the agony of being eaten alive by hyenas in old age.
