I think this may be an estrogen vs. testosterone thing.

I wanted to go back to this line because I couldn't agree more. The risk is evident that when one engages with wild animals, bad things can happen. And as Kenswing commented, the lions in this instance certainly had the right to defend themselves. But I too have difficulty with celebrating the death of a human. I would have felt more celebratory if the poacher had been caught for his illegal activity and had to pay the penalty. But as Gracie said this could be a man/woman thing and just one of the many ways that our viewpoints differ.
On the other hand, hunting is a completely different subject altogether.
