Did you somehow miss the part "Where there was no reason to do so"? This guy hunted an animal for nothing other than "sport".
Again: When the game dept. issues a hunting license, the hunter doesn't have to give a reason for hunting said animal. The game dept. doesn't care if it's for trophy hunting (sport) or for food.
It hasn't been established that Dr. Palmer abandoned all of the animals that he killed. We'll need to find out more on why he abandoned this one.

'Trophy hunters' who hunt only for the 'thrill' of killing an animal and adorning their abodes with stuffed carcasses are tosspots quite frankly, so you fit right in even though there'd be little chance of you actually hitting one.
Your bleeding heart liberal subjective viewpoint is once again duly noted.
This lion was actually under protection and was deliberately coaxed out of its habitat to be hunted by some moron for fun by most accounts.
But you're against all lion hunting aren't you? It doesn't matter how they were hunted.
