Two days after the killing of Cecil the lion sparked a firestorm on social media, the United States government announced that it will investigate the death of the prized African creature.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said on Twitter Thursday that the government agency is currently “investigating” the killing of the lion, allegedly carried out by Minnesota dentist Dr. Walter Palmer.
“We’re investigating the killing of #CecilTheLion. Will go where facts lead. We ask Dr. Palmer or his rep to contact USFWS immediately,” the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tweeted. “We share your concern about the issue surrounding #CeciltheLion and we’re working to gather the facts.”
The government agency has encountered difficulty locating Palmer, who is accused of shooting and killing the lion near a national park in Zimbabwe.
“The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is investigating the circumstances surrounding the killing of ‘Cecil the lion,’” Edward Grace, deputy chief of law enforcement for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said in a statement. “That investigation will take us wherever the facts lead. At this point in time, however, multiple efforts to contact Dr. Walter Palmer have been unsuccessful. We ask that Dr. Palmer or his representative contact us immediately.”
Network news outlets have dedicated more time to covering Cecil the lion than they have to the videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby body parts, according to a report Wednesday from conservative media watchdog group Media Research Center.
GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) slammed the lack of “outrage” regarding the Planned Parenthood videos in comparison to that over Cecil the lion, writing on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, “Look at all this outrage over a dead lion, but where is all the outrage over the planned parenthood dead babies?”
I remember the Gibson Guitar company Fiasco all too well...confiscations and all...yes
I hope that Cecil was tasty.
No panther whizz for the boyz???
Maybe Cecil’s mother was a US citizen or maybe he had a green card. Oh heck, maybe he swam the Rio Grande some years ago and was just undocumented.
You can’t trust them...I think they’re lion.
Judge Napolitano said that the U.S. does indeed have jurisdiction in this case. Extraterritorial jurisdiction is apparently not limited to taxes.
But we already have a lyin’ king.
Extrairrational jurisdiction !
We have another on the lyin’ ‘throne’. We had one before (the first black president).
Want a tee shirt.. F-— the lion, babies are dyin.
I like that term (or not) calling PP Planned Butcherhood. I think I’ll use it from now on.
That’s Klanned Barrenhood to you!
I hate how the commie ‘RAT zombies in the state-controlled “media” are using a stupid lion to keep the murdering butchers at Planned “Parenthood” off the front page. Disgraceful.
what authority does the U.S. think it has....in ZIMBABWE??
*****************************************************************
By the same “authority” they investigate and prosecute American citizens for crimes committed in other countries, such as American child molesters in Thailand.
and an assortment of antelope?

Antelope? I thought they said that was cantelope I was eating at that party.
As Rush points out the drive byes marveled at how good he was at it.
soetoro doesn't give a rat's a$$ 'cause the msm will cover for him and that's how it will be written in the history books.
He runs the US like kwame kilpatrick ran Detroit.
