Alan: Although Minnesota Dentist Walter Palmer believed he was behaving within the limits of law when he slaughtered Cecil, he should still be heaped with opprobrium for participating in "big game hunting," an atavistic practice that has no place in civilized society.
If an individual intends to eat his kills -- especially if "game" is an essential part of one's household economy -- I see a certain "propriety" in killing wild animals.
However, if it is necessary to "thin" populations of "big game," thinning should take place under direct government supervision.
If hunters are involved in "thinning," part of the hunter's contract specifies that no money change hands until the "kill" is presented to vested authorities.
And even then, no payment will be made unless vested authorities certify that the kill was executed in keeping with all laws and regulations.

Dentist Pays $55,000.00 to kill a collared lion, illegally lured from its home in a national park.
A dentist from Minnesota is accused of paying $55,000 to hunt down and kill a famed lion in Zimbabwe.
“Cecil the Lion” was killed in early July, authorities said. A spokesman for the dentist, Dr. Walter Palmer, told The Guardian that Palmer, 55, may have shot the lion.
“What he’ll tell you is that he had the proper legal permits and he had hired several professional guides, so he’s not denying that he may be the person who shot this lion. He is a big-game hunter; he hunts the world over,” Palmer’s spokesman told The Guardian in a statement.
A professional hunter and the land owner where the lion was killed have already been criminally charged. Police said they are looking for Palmer.
