So was this the last living lion in Africa? Was this the only lion shot all year in Africa?

Or is the pissing and moaning because

A) She's a woman
B) She's American
C) A+B

As much as I loathe trophy hunting (ie not for meat harvesting), I don't see the issue if it was taken legally. The animal conservatory determines at the outset of the year how many animals the area can sustain for that year. License fees are then sold. People forget that the HUGE license fees for taking these animals ($15,000-$40,000) goes back to keeping conservation areas properly funded. It also employs many locals who otherwise have ZERO prospect of finding work.
