What you should do it then go after every hunter in the USA because news flash, most of the animals hunted do not fall down and die where shot.
I eat hunted venison, but it happens to be from hunters who would rather break an arm than even think about doing anything that might increase the animals' suffering. A deer with a properly placed bullet dies in seconds. And when that goes wrong, I've seen their anguish as they get a schweisshund to track down the wounded animal. If you as much as suggested using anything but the very best tool to get a quick, clean kill, they'd be appalled.
Hunters.

A lot of hunters chose not to use a firearm but that would not have mattered to you even though you imply it would have. You don't really care what he used or could have used, you have an agenda, that much is clear.
I sure do. I think hunting should be carried out in a way that minimizes the risk of the animal suffering. I never thought it would be much of a controversial agenda, but...

And knock off with the cursing, it's childish. Maybe it fits.
An animal suffered for 40 hours so this dentist got his chance of saying he killed it with an arrow. That's obscene.
I bet half the people fishing do so without a license. That is even a factor here? Visit any dock or pier on either the east or west coast. See how many people are fishing without a license.
Is this for real?
Yep, and Mr shouldastartedastampcollection once again manges to attract the attention of law enforcement.
But I shall use this current rationale if I am pulled over tomorrow for something like running a stop sign. "Officer, can't you see how many people are running stop signs all over town? Why should this even be a factor here?"
I think paying thousands of dollars to hunt (well they usually aren't exactly hunts) an apex predator is ridiculous. Baited hunts (and canned hunts) are unethical. Letting an animal anguish for almost 2 days before you finally kill it and then beheading it, skinning it, and letting the corpse rot is very wrong. This guy comes across as an entitled jerk with too much money and confidence issues. I won't speculate beyond that.
Why can't you blame him? And no he did not have a permit to kill that particular animal. It was intentionally lured out of a protected game reserve. This guy has had problems with the law in the past due to this hobby of his.
The guy has a protected and rare white rhino.......trophy hunting is disgraceful. Not sure why people would want dead stuffed animals lying around...... Hunting game for food is completely different.

He hunted a Southern White Rhino, I believe. It's the Northern White that is protected now. I had to check because articles were only saying white rhino and I was baffled. I agree with you about trophy hunting. Ugh. When I was looking up the status of the rhino the first pages that showed up on my google list were companies advertising this sort of hunting. Very depressing.
I thought the government was claiming it was legal. I dont support poaching or illegal hunting. If that was the case it should be dealt with via the appropriate laws.
If this was legal I do not support haranguing a person who was legally hunting tho.
More is coming out. They lured the animal out of the protective park. They POSSIBLY tried to get rid of the collar the animal was wearing. They beheaded it, stripped him of his hide and left the remains to rot.
Here's what I fail to understand about these hunts/hunters; the "professional" guides locate and track an animal, lure it, take the professional pre-kill pictures, the "hunter" takes a pot-shot (in this case a miserably bad one). The guides then track the animal, inflict the kill-shot, skin and behead the animal. Then the hunter goes home and brags about killing a lion? What kind of pathetic, genitally-diminished nimrod would brag about being such a loser?
I am tired of wealthy sociopaths destroying Africa's majestic animals. It long overdue that trophy hunting is banned.
