Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe

A group of lion hunters in South Africa were apparently stalking the wrong lion:
Authorities reported a group of five men hunting without licences was attacked by the big cat at a private game farm near the Kruger.
Matome Mahlale, 24,was killed along with two dogs, who were accompanying the group.
Local police spokesman Colonel Ronel Otto said: "Three men managed to climb into a tree and another managed to escape, but the deceased and two dogs were mauled to death."
A local said: "There won't be many people feeling sorry for him. This is seen as poetic justice for the death of Cecil."
Lions one poachers goose egg seems fair to me, nature does have a way to protect itself from us.
RIP Cecil.
