New Zealand has been the recipient of a higher than average number of introduced species, in particular a range of mammals from elk to mice.

This Lion should not be shot, as it is a protected reserve that forbids shooting. Hunters go to Africa to shoot lions, and this is without question a good thing; for birds, for ecosystems, and for lions in general! I guess the natural question is… how does some hunter from the US help in the conservation of the lion?
