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.

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.  *This image is copyright of its original author
