Yes he is a very nasty individual and what he did does not change anything. I do not kill for sport. I haven't actually killed an animal to eat but I would do so if it wasn't endangered.
Lions don't fill teeth or extract them so if we need dentists then he should return to work at his own peril if he wishes to.
My opinion has not changed regarding this particular individual, because my opinion of him is the same as it is for anyone who shoots animals for the fun of it.
That said, if what he did was legal and sanctioned, then he has a right to return to his home and workplace - his patients can decide for themselves if they wish to remain on his lists.
The intimidation of his family is absolutely out of order, and should be prosecuted if possible.
He's rich. he's successful, he's an American and he has done nothing illegal.
Not a good start particularly in the UK who mainly cannot come to terms with the description above.
He, his family have surely paid the price for his indiscretion and a line should be now drawn under the incident and he should be allowed back to his occupation.
Whether what he did is "legal and sanctioned" is, in my opinion, immaterial: it's the blatant inhumanity of this activity that is important. Do you notice that in all of his statements he "takes" animals? He doesn't kill or slaughter them.
I knew he would come crawling out of the woodwork eventually when the immediate backlash had died down, with some paltry excuse and hey ho, here he is. Vile creep !
