I work at a firearm and archery dealer, so my interactions with people's feelings on this are heavily skewed towards a hunters perspective.
That said, you are very correct on the aspect of it being a very inhumane kill. From the customers I've spoken with today on the subject of Cecil, it was more this guy's shady methods of baiting the well known / local favorite lion from a safe haven to an area in which he could make it a "legal" kill (not saying it was right or even legal, just that it was lured from a protected Park to a non protected plot of land)
Even us Savage hunters care about a "clean kill" in which the animal does not suffer, and unfortunately, Cecil was not given that respect. I did not speak to one person today that was not disturbed by how this beautiful lion was dispatched....
And I realize I'm replying in a vegan community, I found my way here from /v/all/new, don't hate me!
