And if helped control the lion population and helped provide jobs to the locals, I wouldn't feel the least bit bad about it.
If you watched the video I posted, hunting lions can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. There are a couple videos to of lions charging hunters so hunting in groups is clearly to make it a safer prospect. Who wants to be eaten by a lion? No one. Why does it need to be a fair fight between the hunter and it's prey for hunting to be moral?
There is no way these "hunters in groups" aren't rich guys being led by professional guides who will bear 99.99% of the danger. You really think it's exhilarating to be led to a spot, told to crouch down and shoot a probably sleeping lion who's so used to humans that it doesn't even know it's in danger?
Feral pigs are a huge pest in Florida. I have no problem with people hunting them. They're also mean as **** and will gore your leg in two. Big game hunting on a preserve in Africa is more like going to a farm and shooting a domestic prized hog for fun.
