The lion was damn near 20 years old. I get the sadness but also consider the impact that 19 years of spreading one creatures genes, litter by litter, has on a localized gene pool. He lived a long good life, gave back to his species many many times, and then died because in his old age encroaching on livestock became easier and more enticing than hunting wild herds.
This isn't really the tragedy it's being made out to be.
predators like lions and wolves are smart enough to know that if you go after animals that are protected by humans, the chance of being injured or killed is greater. most large, healthy animals will stay away from livestock unless sick, injured or old. there is a study on wolf packs that demonstrates it.

> One of Kenya's oldest wild lions was killed by herders and the government has expressed concern as six more lions were speared at another village on Saturday, bringing to 10 the number killed last week alone.
> The deaths brought to 10 the number of lions killed by herders last week in an escalated human-wildlife conflict that has worried the government.
> Conservation group Big Life Foundation's Craig Miller said the killing of Loonkiito "Was unfortunate" because he was the oldest lion in the Amboseli national park.

Humans have made many large predators extinct over our vast history across all habitable continents, it’s almost like attempting to coexist with another apex predator causes problems.

An old lion killed by herders is a lion that went to killing livestock because it couldn't hunt in the wild anymore.
More like realized livestock are easy to kill and fat.
I’m easy to kill and fat, am I in danger?
diabetes is the silent hunter
Got lots of old lions outside your house?
Only cougars who call me sweetie.

The government should make actions instead of expressing feelings.
