I'm a health professional, i need to get back to my staff and my patients, and they want me back. That's why I'm back.

This has been especially hard on my wife and my daughter, they've been threatened in the social media, and again... I don't understand the level of humanity to come after people not involved at all.

I have a lot of staff members, and I'm a little heartbroken at the disruption in their lives, and I'm a health professional. I need to get back to my staff and my patients, and they want me back. That's why I'm back.

We are taking this issue seriously.

I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt, i relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt.

I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion.
