The much-loved lion was killed by American dentist Walter Palmer earlier this month, sparking outrage around the world.

This story is so stupid it's mind boggling

The much-loved lion, seriously, how many people actually loved this lion?

It it was a much loved wildebeest, crickets...

The Zimbabweans didn't even know or care about Cecil...to them he's just another lion...

Lions are magnificent creatures, but at the end of the day, they are animals...

Cecil would up as someone's dinner in the local village

What they mean is the "much loved money-maker"...or didn't anyone notice the bucks for the hunt.....and that's without knowing the outcome.

IIRC, the US is working on denying entry to "trophies".
