Default Hunter Who Posed Next To Dead Lion Dies After Falling Off Cliff During Hunt

http://metro.co.uk/2016/12/14/vet-wh...-hunt-6322466/

A big game hunter who sparked worldwide fury when he posed next to a lion he had killed has died after falling 100ft down a ravine while shooting birds.

Vet Luciano Ponzetto, 55, received death threats and hate mail after he posted the snaps of him with the lion on social media last year. Officials say he was out hunting with pals when he slipped on ice and fell down the ravine at Colle delle Oche in hills above the Italian city of Turin. He had been trying to shoot wild birds to eat - a popular past time in Italy - when he died and had only recently returned from a shooting trip to Canada telling friends he had bagged several big hits.

That's quite unfortunate. Every time any one of us heads out into the wild we are taking a risk and may not be coming back. I'd imagine that a number of people are glad that this incident occurred.
