It's a lion, Nate. Not a cow or deer that will be eaten.
There is no good reason to kill a majestic animal just for the sake of killing it (especially one that's losing its habitat) just so you can hang the "trophy" on your wall. We all should have evolved beyond the need to do that long ago...apparently some haven't.
It's a cat. You're a monkey. Get over yourself.
Have you "evolved" because you make someone else do the raising, and the killing?
Or is it because you just can't see how "majestic" the cow is?
(Careful. Think India.)
The only thing that makes it a "majestic animal" is local folklore here, not there, and freaking Disney.
Over there, they're a pest that comes into your camp at night and drags off your goats and sometimes your kids. Pun intended.
It'll also feed the camp for a week, so no, most of the planet isn't "evolved beyond the need to do that" and doesn't have slaughterhouses set up to kill animals in mass quantity like we do.
Glad you have first world problems, like that store shelf full of meat you paid someone else to kill, so you don't have to be "de-evolved". Got some nice folk to pick your fruits and veggies for you too. All there in a nice shiny store.
Quite "evolved" you are there, having the manservants gather your food for your supper. Leaps and bounds over those terrible people in Africa who ask people to come shoot their pests and get to share in eating them.
Can we start a lion ranch and breed them to eat em? Would we be all amazingly and instantly "evolved" the way you want everyone to be then?
Let's do it over there. Feed everyone.
Think that'd be popular there? Lion tacos? Maybe a nice "evolved" Taco Bell? Or a McDs? Quarter Pound Lion Burger with Cheese?
If you're really worried about the cats losing habitat, all you have to do is start shooting the humans instead. I don't recommend it from a morality standpoint -- but it'd be way more effective for your problem you're trying to fix.
"Hey, someone kill me a cow and fetch me some fruit so I can pretend I'm evolved on the Internet, over this lion hunter dude, would ya? I'm way too busy to do all that stuff. Got internet whining to do! And someone go dig some coal so my computer keeps running. Sheesh. Do I have to do everything around here?! I am NOT going to go drill for oil for my airplane flight later today, so you damned "unevolved" people better get ON it! Snap snap. I don't have all day. I'm highly evolved here!"
