Because there is a loss to the country — an injured party — caused by the dentist whether he meant to or not. If you accidentally injure someone’s property, even if you do not know it is their property, you are liable.

Fortunately, no matter how delusional you may be, neither you nor anyone else, OTHER THAN THE OVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE CAN MAKE THE "CLAIM OF LOSS" THAT YOU CLAIM FOR YOURSELF. Are you even a citizen of Zimbabwe?

LOL. Well that certainly is a response steeped in misunderstanding and overreaction.

I never said I suffered loss. I said the country of Zimbabwe suffered loss. It was their lion. If you can believe the news reports (always an “if”), many over there are mad about it.

If you know enough to coax the lion out of the preserve before you kill it, I don’t see how you could not know that it was not available for hunting. But I am willing to listen to another argument.

This dentist apparently has a history of killing animals in similar situations. He is hardly a grand hunter when he picks these easy kills. The guy is a bum. Now he has an entire country mad at him. Actions have consequences. What was delusional was this man thinking he could get by with what he did.
