Killed it 40 hours later with a rifle.
Savage beast.
The dentist, that is.
Total scumbag.
I truly despise this poacher.
By having killed this lion, he has doomed about two dozen cubs to an almost certain death.
I hope he loses everyone of his patients.
“In a statement, the WCTF said the hunt took place on or around July 6, and Palmer was led by professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst. Bronkhorst is the owner of Bushman Safari company, ...”
“Bronkhorst and another Zimbabwean man, a farm owner, have been charged in connection to the hunt, and will appear in court Wednesday, Rodrigues said.”
While I totally agree that this dentist is a total scum and a$$hole for doing what he did in this and past instances, the incident can and should also help to expose the corruption of African nature park officials and their involvement with poaching. In terms of exposing and stopping something like this, hopefully some sort of good can come out of this sad episode.
This person, not a man, is human garbage.
This is his second poaching offense.
He is beneath contempt.
Scum.
From what I read Cecil resides at a national park. The guides the dentist paid for used bait to lure the lion out the protected park to be slaughtered. Isn’t that poaching? I am no hunter but isn’t one the rules you don’t let a wounded animal suffer. Waiting 40 hours to finish the kill appears to very cruel.
Zimbabwe.
That alone should raise a lot of red flags about the story.
Drive the dentist out into the bush. After finding a pride of lions, push him out of the vehicle and drive off. Return the next day to pick up the skeleton—if the lions will allow that.
Imagine what he's like with a root canal?
"...the 13-year-old lion, which was skinned and beheaded, was shot on a ranch after it was “drawn out” of the Hwange National Park...
“It took them another 40 hours to find where the lion was and then they killed it with a rifle,” Rodrigues said.
Which?
I am shocked--shocked!--that somebody went trophy hunting in Africa! What an outrage!
Piers Morgan is running a Twitter feed on the issue that might interest some of the posters here.
When I was young and just a bad little kid
My momma noticed funny things I did
Like shootin’ puppies with a B B gun
I’d poison guppies, and when I was done
I’d find a pussy cat and bash its head
That’s when my momma said
(What did she say?)
She said “My boy, I think someday
You’ll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay”
You’ll be a dentist
(Be a dentist)
You have a talent for causing things pain
(Pain)
Son, be a dentist
(Son, be a dentist)
People will pay you to be inhumane
(Inhumane)
Your temperament’s wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist you’ll be a success

Everything about this story is scummy and despicable.
Turn the Douche Bag Dentist loose in the jungle and let’s hunt him...
He is, quite possibly, the most hated man in the world right now.
There’s hunting and then there’s the bloody ego gratification of
mounting heads for the wall.
$ 50,000.00 for a lion hunt on ancestral grounds, next to game preserve.
