Walter Palmer

Pressure is mounting for the extradition to Zimbabwe of Walter Palmer who killed a protected lion but he’s made himself scarce. Referring to Palmer as a “foreign poacher” a Zimbabwean cabinet minister said “We are appealing to the responsible authorities for his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he can be made accountable for his illegal actions.”

Jimmy Kimmel dedicated his monologue last Tuesday to the long painful death of Cecil a beloved, radio-collared Zimbabwean lion illegally killed in a trophy hunt by American dentist, Walter Palmer, breaking down as he suggested his audience make a donation to support the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit
