This situation isn't really the same as some other internet shaming situations. In this case this guys history pretty clearly shows a flagrant disregard for anything that prevents him from getting his trophies. Already a felon for poaching in the US, and it's not even slightly a stretch to think he's illegally trophy killed others. His apology showed his clear lack of remorse, a textbook sorry I got caught apology and not actually sincerely sorry. If he were he'd give Cecil's head and skin back, but then he'd have thrown $54,000 down the drain and loses to ego stroke. Which is why people are going hard on him, he doesn't seem like a particularly good human being.

As to internet shaming...adapt. Sucks but it's not going away, so be more thoughtful in your online presence or be prepared for the worst. It basically is impossible to stop from happening with the internet as is. Is it scary? I suppose but only if you've exposed yourself to something bad. Generally its not people going after someone for a parking ticket, usually they've said or done something quite anti-social.
