They were part of a tour that was locally organized by Legelela Safaris wherein they were able to shoot the magnificent creature and other animals. This tour operator often shares photos on their Facebook page of dead animals alongside the hunters that proudly paid to kill them, cheerfully holding out their guns in victory.

The husband and wife run a taxidermy business back home and describe themselves as 'passionate conservationists' even though they participate in trophy hunting, reports the Mirror. "We aren't interested in commenting on that at all. It's too political." Mr. Carter told the Mirror.

" It looks as though this lion was a tame animal killed in an enclosure, bred for the sole purpose of being the subject of a smug selfie. This couple should be utterly ashamed of themselves, not showing off and snogging for the cameras," added Goncalves.

Legelela Safaris charge £2,400 ($3,007) for hunting a giraffe, and £2,000 ($2,505) for zebra kills. Killing elephants, leopards, lions and rhinos are also possible in this safari lodge. This news came shortly after reports that British Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Micheal Gove said that he is working on banning big game hunters to bring back trophies from their kills into the country
