The dentist who hunted down Cecil the lion ramped up security at his Florida vacation home after vandals scrawled “lion killer!†on its garage and chucked pickled pigs’ feet on the driveway. Now it start to be ugly here and a witch hunt! The dentist Palmer is just only one of the "hunters". Go instead for the so called "authorized" game keepers! |

Good! Video with link. Airlines Ban Big Game Trophies from Cargo After Cecil the Lion Death The ban is on all lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo "trophies" The international indignation ignited by the death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe last month is persuading some airlines to consider their policy on the shipment of big-game carcasses and body parts (known in hunting parlance as “trophiesâ€). http://time.com/3983268/hunting-big-game-africa-delta-united-ban-trophy-cecil/ |

Still don't understand this 'sport'. Me neither. Your story reminds me of the movie "Deer Hunter". Today one can play this instead. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.deerhuntnew |

Harare - Zimbabwe's popular Lion Lager is using Cecil to market its beer. The brand placed adverts in the Zimbabwean press on Thursday saying, "Our pride lives on - A tribute to Cecil the Lion". Jericho Advertising, a leading Zimbabwe ad agency, is also capitalising on the Cecil furore, this time concentrating on Cecil's coalition partner who is also called Jericho. :(:( |

Walter Palmer, has a shady past. He lies. Hunter Tied to Cecil the Lion Killing Headed Back to Work The Minnesota dentist whose killing of Cecil the lion fueled a global backlash emerged Sunday for an interview in which he disputed some accounts of the hunt, expressed agitation at the animosity directed at those close to him and said he would be back at work within days. Walter Palmer, who has spent more than a month out of sight after becoming the target of protests and threats, intends to return to his suburban Minneapolis dental practice Tuesday. In an evening interview conducted jointly by The Associated Press and the Minneapolis Star Tribune that advisers said would be the only one granted, Palmer said again that he believes he acted legally and that he was stunned to find out his hunting party had killed one of Zimbabwe's treasured animals. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/us-hunter-tied-cecil-lion-killing-headed-back-33577078 |
