Zimbabwe confirms Cecil the Lion’s brother, Jericho, was not shot
Johnny Rodrigues, a senior park official and head of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, told CNN that a hunter illegally gunned down Jericho in Hwange National Park.
“Headman Sibanda’s case is in connection with a lion that was killed by the other American in April”, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spokeswoman Caroline Washaya-Moyo said.
Earlier this week, the Zimbabwe government said that Seski used a bow and arrow in April to kill a lion without approval on land where it was not allowed.
Seski is a well-known gynecologist and oncologist in the Pittsburgh area. The Daily Mail shows photos of him posing next to slain animals from an elephant to a hippo and an ostrich, etc. Right Now he’s nowhere to be found.

Surprising no one familiar with his pro-hunting politics, Motor City Madman Ted Nugent has taken off on a riff of sorts defending the Minnesota dentist who shot Cecil, Zimbabwe’s most famous lion. “We want him (Palmer) to be extradited and tried in Zimbabwe”, she said, as quoted in a report by Xinhua.
The death made headlines around the world, sending Mr Palmer into hiding. But legal experts say the case may be hard to prosecute because the law has rarely, if ever, applied to hunters who do not import parts of the animals they kill. “The American carried out his hunt in an space the place lion searching is outlawed”.
He was a great guy, Dorrington said.
Palmer has said he relied on his professional guides to ensure the lion hunt was legal. “If we do not use wildlife sustainably, there will be no wildlife”, he said.

“The logic is that if you keep killing them, they will become endangered”, Menendez spokesman Steven Sandberg said, according to the Associated Press.
