I am not in favor of trophy hunting at all but I do think the dentist
believed he was on a legal hunt. Legal hunting is that country's
biggest business.

As for trophy hunting, why don't these hunters team up with biologists
and hunt these dangerous animals with a tranquilizer dart gun. They
can still stalk their prey and get their picture taken with it's
comatose body. In the mean time the biologist can do all of the
measurements and tests they would normally do on a tranquilized animal
They could put the hunter's name on the tag they install. The hunter
would have plenty of bragging rights. He took down a wild lion with a
dart gun and his name is on the tag to prove it.
He could also get a lock of hair. It will grow back.

I see it as a win-win

It is possible to change the culture. You only have to look at the
serious bass fishermen to see that. They seldom ever kill a bass and
the criticize people who do. That is also becoming the norm with
tarpon and bill fish.,

Now they arguing after another hunter. They both hired licensed guides,
and figured they were legally hunting. Seems as if Mugabe and company have
found another way to profit from hunting.
