Because the lion was an icon. Everyone knew who he was. Not to mention was being tracked for research, so they likely knew as soon as the collar was removed.
It is too bad that other, less "famous" lions have perished for the same reason, hopefully these types of campaigns bring light to it and help change things. The ill-effects of the people surrounding the dentist (family, employees, etc..) are potentially unfortunate, but if there's anything good about the public shaming, it's that word gets around and things, hopefully, change.
The only reason the girl was shamed was because she posted pictures of it on a public forum, opening herself up to the masses opinions. I think anyone who would do this and then post it like that would be equally shamed.
