Vandals scrawl “Lion killer” at home of US trophy hunter
Now-former patient Morgan Strober tells People in an exclusive interview that she had no idea Palmer’s fancy vacations to Africa entailed killing the animals there.
Sources close to Palmer, 55, say he plans “to lay low” for several more weeks as the controversy surrounding his kill shows no sign of easing.
A professional hunter who helped an American kill a popular lion named Cecil in an allegedly illegal hunt near Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe on Wednesday dismissed the case against him as “frivolous”.

Zalisko revealed security cameras were being installed to further supervise and protect his property, according to Reuters. Jericho no longer roars in sorrow over the loss of his brother Cecil, a rare black-maned lion whose killing in an illegal hunt in Zimbabwe last month sparked worldwide outrage.
To support conspiracy charges, the government would likely be reviewing money transfers, phone calls and other correspondence, seeking evidence that Palmer had made plans to bring body parts into the United States, said the source close to the case.
“They committed a crime, they’re saying he committed a crime”.
Trophy hunting is just an ego-centric pastime for men and women who are living some sort of Great White Hunter fantasy.
Researcher David Macdonald said: “The natural law in lion society is that when a male dies and his weakened coalition is usurped, the new incoming males kill their predecessors’ cubs”.
His practice has been closed amid the furor. “If (the local hunting guides) lured it out of the park by trailing a bait, then I believe that was unlawful as well”, Marek said.
Last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing the lion as a threatened species.
The Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority had said on Sunday that the lion was killed in April.
“Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practise responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion”.
