It is no news that people do sport hunting for big animals and then go back home to hang their heads for Pride. Walter James Palmer's action was believed to be "cruel".
This Lion is so much loved and have been Tourist attraction in the National Park, to mention that he is wearing a Research Collar.and the favorite of many tourist.
The Minnesota dentist who killed “Cecil the Lion” in Zimbabwe wrote a letter of apology to his patients Tuesday as a media firestorm continued to grow and his online business and social profiles were assailed with threats and hate messages.
Walter James Palmer, who paid about $50,000 to hunt the lion, used bait to lure the 13-year-old black-maned big cat out of the protected Hwange National Park in early July so he could shoot it with a bow and arrow, authorities said.
His Hospital-River Bluff Dental’s official website and its Facebook page have been taken down. The business’ phone line has also been disconnected.
Thousands of outraged citizens have flooded the office’s Yelp page with angry messages shaming Palmer for killing Cecil. Please see some of the comments below:
Charity Charamba, a spokeswoman for Zimbabwean police, told The Associated Press that the two Zimbabwean men who allegedly helped lure Cecil out of its protected area will appear in court. The police are searching for Palmer, she added.
On Tuesday, a “We the People” petition was launched on the official White House website in hopes of extraditng Palmer to Zimbabwe so he can face justice. It already has more than 66,000 signatures.
