An American Dentist Killed Zimbabwe’s Famous Lion

Cecil the lion, a famous black-maned resident of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, died at the hands of an American dentist, conservationists claim.

They say Walter Palmer paid $50,000 to hunt and kill Cecil with a bow and arrow. The incident occurred around July 6, with a professional hunting outfit reportedly luring Cecil outside the boundaries of the protected reserve using a dead animal as bait.

“Mr. Palmer shot Cecil with a bow and arrow but this shot didn't kill him,” Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, said in a statement. “They tracked him down and found him 40 hours later when they shot him with a gun. Cecil, who was known all over the world would have earned millions of dollars just from sightseeing. Walter Palmer apparently paid $50,000 for the kill."

It wasn’t the first kill for Palmer, who has multiple photos posted on the website Trophy Hunt America showing the Minnesota resident posing with dead lions, rhinos, water buffalo, warthogs, and other animals.

The Telegraph is reporting from two independent sources that Palmer was indeed the hunter listed on the permit documents, and a spokesperson for Palmer told the news outlet that Palmer believes he is the one responsible for the lion’s death.

Just your lies which you now have to repeat.

Lies! Flithy lies! is correct Marxist parlance.

Please, try to find someone else to lie about.

It is sad that in response to a difference, rather than trying to gain a better understanding, you resort to name calling.

The lion was outside of the preserve. '

Only because the master baiter lured the lion off the National Park (illegal)

shooting a collared lion (also illegal)

Did the American pay $50K to hunt down this specific lion, or to hunt *A* lion?

If the specific lion, he and any who profited from the money should spend a long time in a Zimbabwe jail. (IMO)

I ask you a simple question and you respond with name calling. I've never encountered an FR thread with as many posters suspiciously resembling trolls than this one.

if a specific animal wasn’t lured out.

And how did they lure 'Cecil', did they know his favorite food? Baiting cats on the continent of Africa isn't uncommon. Predators come to bait.

The hunter should just change his name to “Emmanuel Goldstein”.

All Hail Big Brother!

This story has absolutely nothing to do with abortion.

Sure it does. The same culture that produces doctors who kill the unborn for money produced a dentist who killed a lion for fun.

It's also the same culture where our morning news people will talk about how four people died in an accident on the local highway and then smile as they callously segue to discussing "what this means for your morning commute".

It's all connected.

Reading the story does not make anybody a “troll”.
