Stupid pays
He probably had a tag for just that exact individual. Odds are it was issued because that individual was a hazard to the local area and or other members of the species. I used to hate big game trophy hunting but I have come to understand it is much more complicated and beneficial than the headlines lead people to believe.
He probably paid an arm and a leg for that tag which was going to fund conservation and the meat was going to feed the village.

Good comment but how do you know the buffalo is a he?
Almost all of the tags issues are disruptive males so statistically it was a safe bet.
But after checking I see that the DailyMail is stating it was a male.

Oh no how unfortunate.
"darn"
Kudos to the Cape Buffalo and glad he/she was pissed off. During a visit to Kruger National Park, it was a bit nerve wracking sitting in a vehicle while a herd of Cape Buffalo surround you.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cool!

Someone's eating at macca's everyday
That would be "every day". And no. But I know a guy who's my age who does, and he can't even stand for five minutes and he starts complaining about needing to sit down.

I'm sorry that buffalo had to go through that.
