I'm going to admit upfront I didn't follow the link. Am protecting my mental health by not reading it. I don't think I could handle reading it right now. So I'm going to respond based on what I've gleaned from other's posts.

I agree the situation is sad all around. A young woman has lost her life doing what she loved. A lion, who was doing what lions do, has lost it's life. Combine that with the situation did not have to exist in the first place. Big cat sanctuaries come into being because humans try to keep the cats either as pets or as entertainment. Wild animals belong in the wild - period. They are not pets and they should not be used to provide "entertainment" for humans.

I'm not going to pass judgment on the police officer who shot the lion. I wasn't there and don't know enough about the situation to know if he should or should not have shot the cat.
