Couple poses for romantic photo with lion they shot and killed, horrifying animal rights activists

A Canadian couple who went on a recent hunting trip in South Africa horrified animal rights activists after posting a photo of themselves kissing behind a lion they had just shot and killed.
The image of Darren and Carolyn Carter, who own Solitude Taxidermy in Alberta, was posted on the Legelela Safaris Facebook page. It is unclear if this was the same safari the couple was on when they shot and killed the lion.
Legelela Safaris appears to have disabled their Facebook page, so the original post is no longer visible. The couple also disabled their company's Facebook and Instagram page, as well as its website.
The image of them kissing with their trophy kill went viral after being picked up by the U.K.'s Daily Mirror, which called the couple "sick" and the image "horrifying." The newspaper called "for an end to the barbaric practice of trophy hunting," and urged U.K. lawmakers to put an immediate ban on the import of hunting trophies.
