It's the perfect storm of animal cruelty and dental fear.
Hopefully, people would also start supporting wildlife conservation and the fight against poaching in Africa beyond posting comments.

Or they might realise next time their dentist is suggesting some expensive treatment
That he's only after a deposit on a 50 grand holiday/making a payment on his Ferrari/fuelling his motor yacht for the weekend.

That doesn't sound like a popular social media campaign.
Can you at least include kittens?

Twitter should add a feature where
you are not allowed to join in a twitstorm unless you have given a relavent charity donation. They'd make about £50.

This has nothing to do with poaching.
It was to do with locals abusing their hunting licenses and luring an animal off a protected reserve into a hunting reserve. Though using a bow on anything bigger than a small deer is clearly not going to kill it, and constitutes cruelty.
Truth is, the reserves with various, limited, hunting licenses actually preserve more natural habitat than any of the protected nature reserves, and it's all paid for by trigger-happy wankers like him. Who combined, chip in far more cash than any charity tin-rattling. The reality of effective conservation is not all one big fluffy-bunny love-in as the middle-classes would like to believe.

No, this was not part of the wave of poaching that currently decimates rhino and elephant populations
and in some areas in Africa carefully regulated hunting might be the only significant source of funding to keep parks going.
But the strong reaction in this case shows that people do care about wildlife in Africa. It may be a good idea to remind them that conservation needs support year round.
