Well what's the alternative? Do you morally release the animal back into the wild to die on it's own? In his condition, it would probably be a sad, painful death. Not to mention he may have started to hunt people, if he hadn't already.

The circumstances on this case called for it, and if you think about it it makes sense: old age, worn out teeth, sickness and the threat of him going to attack people, then it was a good call.
It's an exception, and well applied.

The Anderson male pauses in his descent from a marula tree. He had been feeding on a warthog (that we believe he robbed from the Ingrid Dam female, who was nearby with her cub) and dropped the remains, which the standing hyena was feeding on. A second hyena can just be seen further back on the left, and another two were lying a few metres out of picture.
