American Dentist Identified As Killer Of Famed Lion In Zimbabwe

Cecil the lion was shot with a bow and arrow, then stalked for 40 hours before he was finally killed with a rifle.

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.

1. Reviews keep getting deleted, but the stream to replace them hasn't let up yet.

Let's show this guy how it feels to be hunted!!!!

[notadmblnd]

2. And here's a picture of the shallow, selfish asshole

[cwydro]

3. Pure scum. I hope they press charges.

I wish I had known the animal was in the pic too because I would not have clicked.

[City Lights]

9. Sick fucker. nt

[Hekate]

10. I'll bet that made him feel like a big manly man, taking down that magnificent animal

[notadmblnd]

11. If he really was a big manly man- he wouldn't have needed any weapons

A real man doesn't feel the need to kill for the sake of killing.

[Octafish]

21. That doesn't look like a lion.

A jaguar, maybe.

CatWoman! Paging CatWoman!

[notadmblnd]

24. No, that's a leopard

Obviously the lion wasn't his first victim. His actions are particularly dispicable when you consider that he cut off the head and skinned the lion then left his body to rot on the plain.

[Octafish]

29. What's the thrill?

Asked, "When would it be appropriate to take a life?" a monk answered, "When you know how to give life back."

That dentist must not understand how miraculous the gift really is, life.

[notadmblnd]

30. Bragging rights I guess

Pretentious, shallow little man who is insecure and needs his ego stroked by those he associates with.

And I thought the men who take and compare photos of their lawns were bad

[BillZBubb]

4. He's really getting torn a new one.

Hopefully, this will spread to all his online activity.

Can he be extradited to Zimbabwe?

[yeoman6987]

12. No. Lol. We would never do that

We very rarely do that at all for even people murders. No way will they do that.

[mnhtnbb]

5. They've shut down the link to e-mail the office.

What an a$$hole.

[kcr]

6. Hope the backlash against those protesting isn't too strong

The, "Oooh, internet bullying is wrong!" that is so popular right now can fuck right off with this one.

23. Killing a beautiful endangered animal is a whole different thing than

posting an ill-considered, poorly worded tweet that begs to be misconstrued, right before getting on an airplane so you'll have no idea how the tweet was received.

Sure there might be some people who think even still, this cretin shouldn't lose his business over it (and I suspect that ultimately, he won't, because people have short memories). But a whole lot of people who don't want to see someone pounded over a bad tweet, will not be stepping up to defend this scumbag.

[kcr]

25. I'm not sure what you're talking about

But I stand by what I said. The trend to silence people for legitimate criticism by calling it bullying is what I'm talking about. I don't know if what you're talking about qualifies because I have no idea what it is.

[MH1]

28. I was referring to a specific recent instance of internet bullying.

Someone tweeted something that she said later was meant as a joke. It was poorly done. But the bad thing is she got on a plane and didn't even know what was happening until she got off the plane, looked at her phone and found her reputation in tatters. If I recall correctly she lost her job over it. Many people felt that was a case of internet bullying going too far.

My point was that actually killing a magnificent, beloved animal, is a much different case than that other situation. This dentist will only find defenders among other killers, I suspect. The people who said "too much" for the reaction to the (perceived) ugly tweet, will probably not be saying that for this guy. JMHO, of course.

[kcr]

32. Well, it depends on what she said.

I don't know what getting on a plane and not knowing about it has to do with it. Many people may feel it's a case of internet bullying going too far, but I can't say because you won't say what she said.

[MH1]

33. If I find a link to the full story I'll post it.

but the specifics aren't really the point. Just that there are different degrees of transgression and some are more likely to garner sympathy than others.

[kcr]

34. How are the specifics not the point?

People aren't immune from consequences of their actions and sometimes those consequences involve the internet. Some are more likely to garner sympathy, which is why I don't understand how the specifics aren't the point.

7. here's a video of Cecil the lion:

The bastard poacher:

"A spokesman for the hunter told the Guardian that Palmer was “obviously quite upset over everything.”

This isn't the first time Palmer has come under fire for his hunting techniques. In 2008, he was placed on probation for one year and fined $2,939 after lying to federal authorities twice about where he shot a black bear in Wisconsin.

8. He hired a PR firm....

J Austin & Associates of Minneapolis

[quizzle]

13. good, bomb them too

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Where did you hear/read that?

Looks like he has plenty of money.

[jberryhill]

16. Google news is your friend

http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_28548920/bloomington-dentist-accused-killing-zimbabwe-lion-illegally

"I hired several professional guides and they secured all proper permits. To my knowledge, everything about this trip was legal and properly handled and conducted," Walter Palmer said in a written statement released Tuesday through public relations firm J Austin & Associates of Minneapolis.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. ahhhh..you know, I had read that statement in another paper

but had missed (or they left out) the PR firm.

Love that this has gone viral, ad he is learning the power of the internet.

[kwolf68]

26. Awesome

A few bucks, followed by propaganda and the facts will be

-Doctor Palmer shot the lion in self defense
-The lion was rabid
-There are 8 zillion lions on the planet
-Palmer cured cancer
-Lions cause cancer

[jberryhill]

27. The lion had mouthed off, and had weed

[DisgustipatedinCA]

35. Do lions have waistbands? If so, I'm sure Cecil was reaching for his. nt

[JI7]

17. apologize give up hunting provide free dental care to poor

[PoliticAverse]

31. I think what he needs is called a "crisis management specialist".

[Initech]

15. Maybe he can be cellmates with that vet that shot a cat with a bow and arrow.

[City Lights]

22. Kristen Lindsey! Never forget that name.

My avatar is Tiger, the cat that horrid woman killed.

[Faryn Balyncd]

18. Perhaps he can volunteer to provide free dental care in Africa for the rest of his

...life.

Billy Cannon kept his license after going to the pen for counterfeiting by doing dental work at the Louisiana State Penitentiary.

Maybe Dr. Palmer can make a similar deal with the Zimbabwean government after he gets out of prison.

Let's extradite him promptly!

[LisaL]

20. He should be providing free dental care to lions.

[Faryn Balyncd]

36. Yep!

[damnedifIknow]

37. Hope the pos goes broke

I sure wouldn't trust this flake if he were my dentist.

[Monk06]

38. Palmer claims that he is paying homage and honoring an animal by hunting it. *Warning Graphic*

This is how he honored and paid homage to Cecil
