Second American Accused of Illegally Hunting Lion in Zimbabwe

His coalition partner, Jericho the lion, was feared dead this weekend, but Zimbabwe authorities say a research project snapped a photo of Jericho on Sunday morning.

Zimbabwe wildlife formally declare Seski hunted the large cat on a farm subsequent to Hwange Nationwide Park, the place Cecil the lion had been a fixture.

Dr. Jan Seski, a Pittsburgh-area oncologist, did participate in a “lawfully permitted hunt” in Zimbabwe in a different month, but he denies that he did anything wrong, his U.S. attorney Greg Linsin said.

Palmer is accused of financing an illegal hunt, and he and the professional hunter are accused of illegally using a bow and arrow to avoid detection by park rangers, Oppah Muchinguri, the African nation’s environment minister, said last week.

Leaving the court, Bronkhorst said: “I feel sorry for my client”.

It’s been almost a week since the public outcry over the death of Cecil the Lion reached a boiling point after the hunter who was responsible for his death was revealed, and the outrage is only continuing as more news continues to break involving the case.

Zimbabwe has started legal proceedings to extradite Palmer from his home in Minnesota to answer charges connected with the lion slaying. The landowner who helped him with the hunt also did not have a have a quota for lion hunting.”.

Zimbabwe also contends that a Pennsylvania physician, Dr. Jan C. Seski of Westmoreland County, illegally killed a lion in April.

“It seemed to me everything he does is aboveboard”, Hahn told the AP.

Like the American hunter who killed Cecil, Seski’s reputation has also been ravaged on the Internet by opponents of trophy hunting, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner. The head of Zimbabwes safari association said the killing was unethical and that it couldnt even be classified as a hunt, since the lion killed by an American dentist was lured into the kill zone.

“He was a great guy”. “Every thing he did was completely authorized and aboveboard and a fantastic assist to our conservation efforts”.

Dorrington said he had converted his cattle ranch into a game reserve in the 1980s, and that funds from trophy hunting of antelope are essential to conserving wildlife.

“The United States must initiate extradition proceedings and give over a citizen to a foreign country for prosecution”, wrote CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos in an August. 1 report.
