What the dentist who paid $50,000 to kill Cecil the lion did wrong

According to Reason.com:

The problem isn't that Palmer paid a lot of money to hunt a lion, it's that he didn't pay enough money, he paid it to the wrong people, and he killed the wrong lion.
The Reason post goes on to talk about another trophy hunt and how it contributed to conservation. Lost in the outrage is the lack of compassion for the people of Zimbabwe and the suffering they've been subjected to by a highly corrupt government (Reuters) and the primary cause of the destruction of wildlife in Zimbabwe (Cato).
