Cecil the lion’s ‘brother’ Jericho killed in Zimbabwe

The brother of slain Cecil the lion, named Jericho, was killed Saturday in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, a senior park official told CNN.

Stanley says that after a big kill, hungry villagers from miles around swarm to where the hunters are skinning the beast for mounting by a taxidermist. The wounded cat was later tracked down and Palmer allegedly killed it with a gun, they said.

The wildlife authority said it was necessary to tighten hunting regulations outside the park “following the killing of the iconic lion Cecil”.

Palmer, his professional hunter guide, and the owner of the land where the hunt took place are accused of an illegal hunt under the country’s Parks and Wildlife Act, Muchinguri said in a statement on the country’s parks and wildlife website. “The numbers are clear”. Last year the United States Fish and Wildlife Service proposed placing African lions on the threatened-but-not-endangered list.

Surgeons in Tampa, Florida have cured a cross-eyed lion by removing a lens from one of its eyes.

He says he thought the hunt was legal and was unaware Cecil was protected.

The American dentist who sparked worldwide outrage after killing Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe has reached out to U.S. authorities, U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials said Friday.

This could now cause a domino-like effect as Cecil’s mate and the young lions in the pride will now be totally unprotected from other male lions in the area.

The United States should prosecute convicted felon Walter Palmer for any U.S. laws he may have violated. “Kenya does not allow hunting of any kind and Tanzania sets aside more of its land for hunting than it does for ecological parks”.

“We ask that Dr. Palmer or his representative contact us immediately”. Or with the diorama of African animals that Jeffrey Stanley has hunted, killed and turned into the trophies that dominate his home office.

The dentist claims he was told by his safari organizers that his hunt was perfectly legal.

“It would look to me that the U.S. may have a pretty plausible case to try him”, he said.

Hunting “is a source of much needed foreign exchange, job creation, community development and social upliftment”, Environment Minister Edna Molewa said. It had more than 170,000 signatures by late Friday morning. In theory, Bauer said, “there’s a lot of habitat in Africa where lions exist because of trophy hunting”.

Meanwhile, Cecil’s cubs are likely to survive, even in the wake of the animal’s death, as stated by one scientist who’s had been studying the lion.

Huffington Post reporters Julia Craven and Kim Bellware noted that it took more than six months before charges were filed against a Cleveland officer who killed unarmed 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was playing at a park.

In response to global fury over Cecil’s death, Palmer has issued a statement apologizing for killing a popular lion, but considering the menagerie of animals he’s slaughtered in the past, his words are hollow. Wars in the region have hurt too, Pimm said.
