Lion hunter photo

Our national daily newspaper yesterday featured a full page advertisement promoting and begging for donations to worldanimalprotection.org.nz/lions
A quick search reveals this to be an international group
The page features a black and white pic of a hunter and perhaps his P.H. and a couple of ladies posing behind a male Lion trophy.
I very much doubt the hunter has approved the use of this image for publication by an ostensibly anti hunting org.
In order to take this crowd to task we need to identify the hunter and/or the others in the pic.
I’m too I.T. Challenged to get this image up so if anyone can assist then please contact me.
Organisations like this should not get away with flagrant flouting of the law to further their perspective.

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.”

Hi, Ridgeman. Long time since I saw you. Do you still hunt with Andrew?

Best, Tom

Hi Tom.
Yes, on occasion but I principally work with Thor these days.
Cheers.

Hi Ridgeman,

I was able to locate the picture you are referencing on their web site.

They are reference farming lions for hunting and bone trade in South Africa.

Thanks for the update.
The caption that accompanies the picture here in NZ just reads “Does the life of a Lion mean nothing at all ?”
I’ve mailed them asking for their position on sustainable use and legal hunting but have yet to receive a reply.
Many of us may find canned hunts abhorrent however unauthorized use of photos that could potentially lead to victimization is dangerous territory.

Is this the photo you're asking about?

Yes. Thanks for this.
Not sure if the people involved would be happy to be presented in the way this org has used their image ?
