Trial postponed of hunter who helped dentist kill lion

Dan Politt, 16, was with his parents at the home Wednesday afternoon bleaching the bright blotches left by the pigs feet that were staining Palmer’s driveway.

Researchers said, after the alpha male was gone, the youngsters were at risk of being killed by the next lion in the hierarchy so he could father his own cubs with the females in the pride.

The damage to the home of Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, a game hunter who last month killed 13-year-old Cecil, a rare black-maned lion, is being investigated as misdemeanor criminal mischief, said Marco Island police Captain David Baer. Our partners, WINK News, are reporting that the Marco Island home of the man who killed Cecil the lion was vandalized overnight.

According to the Chicago Tribune, a security company was hired to watch over the now vacant property.

The American dentist who killed Cecil the lion was a “foreign poacher” who paid for an illegal hunt and he should be extradited to Zimbabwe to face justice, environment minister Oppah Muchinguri said on Friday.

Rather than criticize people for the passion they feel, we think it would be better to dedicate our efforts to putting that passion to meaningful use.

“Every 15 minutes somebody would call, sometimes they’d hang up, sometimes they’d leave a message, sometimes I’d answer and they’d just yell at me, swear, curse, and then hang up”, Dr. Matt Palmer said. People got it out of their system.

Several times a year, Huelsenbeck goes on hunting trips in the United States and overseas.

Madeline Doran, Fort Myers animal rights activist and former educator, said this sideshow distracts from the true problem.

The hunt provoked worldwide outrage when it emerged that Cecil was a well-known attraction among visitors to the Hwange National Park and was wearing a tracking collar as part of an Oxford University research project.

“At the very least maybe we can show the world that not all Americans are like this jackhole here”, he said, as a photo of a smiling Palmer advertising his dental practice filled on the screen.

The dentist is under investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as well as various global agencies.
