Zimbabwe wants Twin Cities lion hunter extradited with 'a bit of speed'

A senior Zimbabwean diplomat said Monday that his government wants Eden Prairie big game hunter Walter Palmer extradited as quickly as possible to face allegations that he illegally shot a much-revered lion during a hunt last month.
Meanwhile, Palmer has not disclosed his whereabouts since authorities confirmed nearly a week ago that he was the American who killed Cecil the lion. Palmer, 55, did release a statement last Tuesday explaining that he thought the hunt was legal.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Friday that a representative for Palmer contacted the agency, which has begun its own investigation. The USFWS declined to give a progress report Monday on its efforts in the case. . . .

He'd better hope the U.S. finds something to charge him with and makes a deal with Zimbabwe.

Let's get a bounty going on his capture. I'll be willing to kick in a few dollars. Hell, let's make it a reality show - TRACKER: THE HUNTER IS HUNTED.

Maybe we could bring in Dog, The Bounty Hunter, from Hawaii and it could be a one season reality TV show!
Surely it wouldn't take more than a few weeks!

(5,128 posts)7. Does anyone here really believe he can't be found?
What about our all mighty NSA? Where is Homeland Security? Right.
Just like "the y" could not find the 2 escaped convicts for weeks on end.
Hiding in plain sight.
Come out, come out wherever you are, Dr. Palmer.
