A man shown in viral video shooting dead a sleeping lion has been identified by multiple news outlets as a trophy hunter from Illinois—and no stranger to controversy.
The shooter is seen taking aim in a video posted by the Twitter account @Protect_Wildlife on Monday, March 18, and then firing at the animal several times until a guide says “OK, OK, don’t do any more.” The man has been identified by The Daily Mail as 64-year-old Guy Gorney.
