American Wanted In Lion Poaching

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/ Huffington Post . More here .
