An American dentist with an affinity for killing rare wildlife using a bow and arrow has been identified as the man who shot and killed Zimbabwe's most famous lion earlier this month, local officials claim.
Dr. Walter Palmer, a dentist working in Bloomington, Minnesota, is said to have paid $55,000 to hunt the 13-year-old lion, named Cecil, according to a report from The Telegraph. The animal was allegedly lured with meat out of Hwange National Park -- a protected area that bans hunting -- into an adjacent hunting zone where he was shot with an arrow. The lion was then followed for 40 hours before he was ultimately killed with a rifle.
The Zimbabwe tourism department also sent out a tweet early Tuesday identifying Palmer as the man who killed Cecil, using the hashtag #illegalhunt.
This beautiful creature killed so that this scumbag can feel like a man. This type of stuff makes me sick to my stomach.

I couldn't reach the link, but I looked up a different article instead:
Bloomington dentist says he regrets killing Cecil the lion - StarTribune.com
Instead of haranguing and harassing the guy,
since he regrets the killing and claims he didn't know the circumstances,
why not petition him and this other hunting groups to contribute to restoring the
lion and wildlife population they have been exploiting for profit.
According to the article I found, the cubs of Cecil are at risk of being killed off
by the next lion. So maybe these hunters can offer restitution by helping to keep those Cubs safe and sustained.
If they learn how much it takes to preserve the wildlife, maybe they will
develop even greater appreciation. And this could heal SOME
of the injury and insult over shooting such a treasured lion. Even a small gesture would mean something
to help the heroic organizations fighting an uphill battle to preserve and bring back the endangered species of Africa.
Why not ask hunters to help contribute instead of wiping out the remaining wildlife?
Where's the restitution for Cecil and the Cubs left behind in need of protection now?
Hey - it's not like he refused to bake a queer cake.This beautiful creature killed so that this scumbag can feel like a man. This type of stuff makes me sick to my stomach.

What will work faster is to put this dentist out of business. Boycott his practice. As soon as his website opens up again I'm going to email him and I hope everybody does.
