No, looking at it at night from the avenue would have been best. The longer video has the entire clip. It ran for about 3 hours at a cost of like $1million and they used 40 cameras to run it. It was because of the outrage over Cecil the lion's death that prompted them to do this and call attention to just how many species of animals are on the endangered list and how big a problem poaching is.

People can say I'm one of those "crazy animal" people, but growing up in the city, having lived on a farm and now stuck in a suburb, it gives me a perspective that those who never had the chance to live in a variety of places never get. When you're in a city, your only wildlife are pigeons and some squirrels if the park is lucky enough not to have gotten rid of them all. There are no songbirds waking you up with the sun in the morning and you don't get to see a little rabbit snatching a piece of greenery from a garden. There are no does with their fawns sharing grain with your horses. You don't hear the owls at night and early in the morning and you certainly don't see the beautiful silver and red fox out hunting. No hawks, no eagles, just pigeons and some squirrels.

I'll never understand hunters who don't really hunt. Luring an animal is NOT hunting. Leaving it's carcass to rot is NOT hunting.
