Of note on this subject - some Minnesota TV personality named Melissa Bachman is currently under fire for posting a pic of her smiling over a dead lion.

Now, while I might wonder about the wild/canned status of this particular lion, the response paints a detailed picture of the emotions that can get stirred up by something like this, especially when you understand that this sort of thing happens all the time.

Seems to have been picked up by the smaller outlets and the rags (the Mirror) but its out there nonetheless.
