I think it's cuz they don't get paid unless the jerks get the creature they paid for. That's also probably why they picked Cecil - they knew where he could be found. Wild lions outside of parks are probably much harder to locate. I wonder if they USED Cecil's tracking collar to locate him?

Those types of hunts are very limited so they cost a fortune (basic supply and demand) and there are a lot of palms to grease in order to legally get your trophy home. Did the guides know this lion - probably - did the hunter - maybe. Most of those types of hunts do not come with a guarantee. Haven't really been reading this story. and only got token assurances that the hunt was going to be legal If true - that would be very bad for everyone including the future of the animals as it could stop the money and leave the animals fate in the hands of poachers.
