I say extradite this guy if he broke the law, as long there is assurance that he will get a fair penalty for the offense. With all the publicity and outrage over this, I'm afraid that they would try to make an example of him and hang him by his thumbs in the public square or something.

These guys are the scum of the earth, since they're killing living beings for fun, for a dubious challenge and for a trophy. Killing is their kind of enjoyment, probably because the have men troubles in the nether regions. They show a general disregard for life and the fact they haven't moved on to humans because society prevents them from doing so, doesn't make them any less despicable.
There are responsible hunters. The ones who hunt to eat and to regulate animal populations. These rich fucks paying a fortune to take a life don't fall into the responsible category.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
