Identification of the hunter who killed the sleeping lion The predator responsible for the murder of a dormant wild lion was identified through the surfacing of images of the prey on the Internet. The 64-year-old hunter, whose name is Guy Gorney, lives in Manhattan, Illinois, and spends his free time hunting for souvenirs. For those who do not know, trophy hunting, especially the killing of large and wild animals for sporting purposes, is aimed at keeping the head, skin or horns of the killed animal for souvenir purposes. Wilder people than these animals they kill can sometimes use their poor animals for food purposes.

Don't even regret In an interview with CBS in 2015, Gorney shows no sign of regret about his hunting habit and the fact that he had slaughtered more than 70 animals, including lions, elephants and leopards, and said in his interview: “I have trouble understanding, this photo is with a deer. Nobody would have cared if they were taken together. But if it is an elephant, or a lion as it is now, then it becomes a huge problem. For me, I end a life either way. "

Reactions from animal lovers Many Twitter users who watched the resurfacing footage expressed the cowardice of the predator, especially when attacking a wild but harmless animal at rest. Gorney, on the other hand, has been an open advocate of the hunt for pleasure, and has always expressed this as well. Ever since his identity was revealed, his public Facebook profile was flooded with comments and reactions from animal lovers, who described his "poor" and "weak" actions as "inferior".

Endangered The tweet, which reveals images of this ancient savagery, also shows the African Wildlife Foundation statistics based on current lion hunting and hunting rates, predicting that these majestic animals could become extinct by 2050 if this continues. Sorry, it's not illegal Speaking to CBS, Gorney says that his hunts are legal, he does not do poaching and does not understand the people who threaten him and others in this regard. In the meantime, hunting is actually illegal in Zimbabwe, but hunting is allowed in areas and times determined by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and only those with permission.
