A trophy hunter was shot dead as he hunted lions bred in captivity in South Africa.
Pero Jelenic was struck by a stray bullet as he tracked on of the creatures near Setlagole, in the North West province.
Police spokesperson Charlize van der Linden told News24 that the 75-year-old hotelier from Croatia had already killed one lion and along with two other hunters, he was tracking another big cat when he was hit.
. . .
South Africas canned lion hunting industry is highly controversial. In canned hunts, cats raised in captivity are kept on private hunting reserves where they can be shot by hunters for a fee.

Animals raised in cages or on reserves.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
They deserve what they get.

on a game ranch/hunting area the now dead d-bag took some really

(23,343 posts)He had enemies, or
some wildlife-loving activist stopped the hunt, or
most likely, some other hunter mistook him for a game animal.
Stray bullets almost never have such a fine sense of justice.

(50,557 posts)There were probably several canned hunts going on at the same time, and he got between another hunter and the lion that guy was trying to shoot.
You know they should mount his head and hang it on the wall in his hotel next to his trophies, with a plaque under the chin reading "he died doing what he loved."

(27,805 posts)It's bad enough when these millionaire hunters go into the African jungle to kill lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos etc purely for "fun".& trophy collecting..but going into those fenced private "hunting reserves" to kill these magnificent animals is the ultimate form of cowardice imo.
