I know someone who has eaten lion - says it's tasty (just to answer the question) - In his case Mountain lion, but I've heard the "African Plains Lion" is also tasty.

Shooting just for a trophy = wrong
Hunting to eat it = OK particularly if the game in question has an overpopulation problem - see eastern White Tailed deer - we have actually increased their habitat, while decreasing the habitat and population of their preditors - just about the only 3 population controls on them are 1)Hunting, 2)Cars and 3)Starvation (BTW if I remember right - cars are actually a bigger killer than hunters)
