Video shared on social media shows a trophy hunter shooting and killing a sleeping lion and then being congratulated on the kill.

The clip was posted by the Twitter account @protect_wildlife on Monday, without any identifying details about the shooter or where the incident took place, save for the guide calling the man by last name, potentially saying, 'Mr. Goney' or 'Mr. Gooney.'

'This "hunter" sneaked up on a SLEEPING #Lion and killed it! How brave, how sporting - HOW C**TISH!!!,' the tweet which included the video read, prompting thousands of responses in outrage over the spectacle.

One person wrote: 'I live to pour boiling hot water on him while he's sleeping and watch him scream in agony - that was horrible to watch.' 

People on social media have called for the man to be identified.

At the current rate of lion hunting and poaching, the majestic animals could go extinct by the year 2050, according to the African Wildlife Foundation.

The man's identity is not known, but the guide calls the man by last name, potentially saying, 'Mr. Goney' or 'Mr. Gooney'

People on social media have expressed their outrage over the clip, with one person writing, 'I live to pour boiling hot water on him while he's sleeping and watch him scream in agony - that was horrible to watch'

The video shows an unnamed hunter, who is referred to by last name but inaudibly, pointing a rifle at a sleeping lion while he's being coached to shoot.

The hunter fires one shot, and awakes the lion, which arches its back in pain and looks around at where the attack has come from.

Before the lion can understand the assault against it, the hunter fires a second and third shot.

The person guiding the shooter then tells him to stop, saying, 'OK, OK, don't do any more.'

The guide then shakes the shooters' hand and says, 'That, Mr. [inaubible], is a very nice lion.'

It sounds as if the man's last name might by Goney, or Gooney, but it's not completely clear exactly what the guide says in that moment. 

'A very nice lion,' the guide continues, while laughing and patting the man on the back. 

The clip then cuts to the guide prodding the lion with the butt of the rifle to ensure it's dead, saying again, 'Very nice lion,' while shaking the shooter's hand once more.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
