I guess I assume the tracking / stalking is an integral part of that particular hunt. Well that and the fact the SOB can eat you in a heartbeat. The video doesn't show preceding part of the hunt but leads to the probably correct assumption that not much actual "hunting" takes place. Personally doesn't appeal to me, but as long as game laws are followed, then meh. A quicker follow up should be every sportsman method of operation, but I was associated with people that didn't want more holes in the game so deer that were not at risk of running of were waited out to expire, not like hours but still not immediately. I distanced myself from them, not for my distaste just as a progression of life. Maybe I am the odd duck but I don't enjoy the extinguishing of life, i understand and accept it. Maybe the lion was a cull due to preying on farm animals or people even, possibly a numbers management. As noted the event and follow up statements are quite dated but the article I linked was much more current. That is the world we live in, like it or not, our behavior current and present is being evaluated. A fine line needs to be walked, this guy would have helped hunting in general by not allowing the video to be released, assuming it was the hunter, a guide or outfitter should be even more diligent.
