After Killing Famous Lion, Internet Outrage Forces The Killer To Close His Dental Office
Cecil the lion was one of the most popular attractions at Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park – until he was killed by Walter Palmer, a dentist from the U.S. who paid $55,000 for the “pleasure” to kill the 13-year-old wildlife celebrity. The backlash from animal lovers around the world has been so strong that the dentist’s website has shut down and his office is shuttered.
Palmer, a trophied wild animal hunter, paid a guide to lure the wild cat out of the park at night so he could be poached. He shot and wounded Cecil with a bow, but was only able to kill the big cat 40 hours later. Cecil was beheaded and skinned – his carcass remained unused.
Not only did his lion hunt kill a local celebrity at the park, but, according to the Zimbabwean Tourism Authority, the hunt was illegal, and a criminal investigation is currently underway. African cat’s death will affect more than just him and his fans. Now that Cecil is gone, other male lions will probably kill off the 24 cubs that he had left with his pride to ensure that their own bloodlines live on instead.

That was until authorities found him shot. His carcass had been left, skinned and beheaded, outside of the park. The killers even tried to hide his tracking collar – but they failed

The Zimbabwean Tourism Authority later identified Walter Palmer, a dentist and trophy hunter from Minnesota, as the culprit
The Internet has responded angrily to his actions, and Palmer has been forced to close his dental office
Locals have covered the front door with flowers, signs and stuffed animals as a memorial for Cecil
The Yelp reviews have been especially brutal, dropping his rating to 1:
Even Ricky Gervais, a comedian, actor and animal rights activist, weighed in:
Zimbabwean authorities are looking for Palmer and investigating the killing, but he is reportedly back in the U.S.

Cecil left behind 24 cubs, who will probably killed by rival males seeking to replace him as alpha

In a statement, Palmer said “I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt… I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion”

Share on Facebook"...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." He must be out of his f...... mind. Killing for pleasure is the utmost stupidity.
Damage control. That's all that statement is. He's a fool.
Load More Replies...it`s a shame to kill for pleasure! i hope u die coward! i you really wanted to hunt the poor animal you should have done it with your bare hands!
I hope this these sick f***s get what's coming to them .
Load More Replies...24 cubs left fatherless and will highly face infanticide. With a blow to the species! This man, this man isn't human; he's a monster, and a murderer!
Someone should go in and gather up the cubs before the inevitable occurs
Load More Replies...How can someone be so f*****g happy posing over a DEAD being? You lack empathy and compassion and that is tragic. That lion had a family and was affectionate and very much alive and you killed it in cold blood. Disgusting.
Can we raise money for the 24 cubs Cecil left behind? I hate to see his pride and joy be killed by another lion. I understand it is the way the animal kingdom works, but I think this would be the right thing to do in memory of Cecil. Make the dentist pay for the misplacement of the cubs.
It's nature. The only way these cubs will be saved is if humans intervene, then they'll live in a zoo or wildlife rescue somewhere. Either way, they won't be able to live their life as they should. Unfortunately most of the male cubs would die whether or not Cecil was still alive. They would end up competing with each other to become next in line. That's just the way they are.
Load More Replies...Apparently sociopaths can't resist the cold hearted obsession
Load More Replies...If he has returned to the USA, then America should extradite him or prosecute him....Anne take away his dental license also. This is not the first animal he has killed. What kind of person gets pleasure from killing another living bring.?
No one is going to hunt this guy down; and putting him in jail won't solve much. However a fine of 10x the money he paid to kill a lion is reasonable. So $550,000 for the Cecil. And $550,000 for each cub that dies as a result of his actions. If all cubs are killed, that's 25 x $550,000 = $13,750,000.00 to be used in the prevention of poaching and the ending of making big game species a hunted animal. And no bankruptcy option, so if he doesn't have, he loses all he has and works the rest off. Either as a dentist or risking his neck to stop other poachers like himself. Kind of works to solve the problem and, unlike jail, acts a deterrent to rich, bored jackasses who think this kind of c**p is fun. Just saying.
Completely agree. A**holes like this don't understand anything except punishment and the almighty $. So punish him and publicize it so it doesn't happen again. And make him pay for the rest of his miserable life..
Load More Replies...trophy hunting sickens me, and should be illegal. He and the guides should be punished to the full extent of the law with Heavy fines and imprisonment and loss of any licenses forever... and the Lion's head and skin returned to Zimbabwe to be honored in a memorial to Cecil. These so-called 'hunters' need to be stopped.
Heartbreaking. This man DESERVES all the negative press...although none of it will bring back the beautiful creature.
He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is.
What a piece of s**t I hope hid business goes under and won't be able to afford those cross the world trips to kill beautiful animals
"...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." Dr. Palmer, you "love" hunting and killing defenseless animals? Just for a trophy? That is so sad. Next time, try using a camera instead. You still have the thrill of the hunt, and your "target" won't have to suffer and die a miserable death to satisfy this despicable hobby that gives you such pleasure.
He wounded Cecil first to make him "wild" enough to even hunt. He has 43 big game kills. He knew EXACTLY who Cecil was and it was that specific lion he wanted as a trophy. He has been fined for illegal poaching before. he is a loser. He is a detriment to America. Send him back for his punishment.
I dont want this to just "blow over. Something has to be done..what do you suggest?
Load More Replies...My question is... Who was the wildlife guide who accepted $55,000 to let an animal be killed?
Im glad to see his dental practice close. While I don't wish harm to anyone, this man and people like him need to be stripped of everything they own and they should not have the capacity to pay to 'legally kill' anything. whatever the f..k that is! Any animal that is endangered or doesn't end up on a plate should be protected.
I honestly hope AMerica will send him to justice! Such a coward !!! And people signing up for this almost 400 thousand already signed up http://www.thepetitionsite.com/821/738/351/demand-justice-for-cecil-the-lion-in-zimbambwe/
keep spreading the petition around, people need to realize there are consequences to their actions
Load More Replies...I hope someone illegally lures him out of his safety spot, wounds him and hunts him for 40 hours. Eye for an eye man. This guy is a coward! hunt an animal but go into hiding when you have to face what you have done. Wow!!
Hope you enjoy your new job as a night janitor in a warehouse you heartless monster. I pray he never gets a patient again.
Maybe he can get a nice bloody job in a slaughter house. The stench of blood is sickening and he'll get to kill all he wants. Maybe he can hang a chicken head on his wall.
Load More Replies...It seems unlikely that a veteran hunter could possibly mistake an activity in which an animal within proximity of a wildlife preserve is lured, beheaded, skinned and discarded as a "legal hunt."
Hunting was part of a life style of the Native americans or tribal folks. It was to feed others and yourself, to use as much as possible of the animal.... To respect what the animal has given you with its life. To kill something for sport and use nothing of it is just pure disrespect of a life you've just ended. All this to have a disgusting picture in your memoires of hunting.
he's a despicable piece of s*** (not worthy of human status). I hope someone hunts him down with a bow and leaves him to suffer for 40 hours before chopping his head off!!! I hope his life is ruined for ever for this disgusting deed. There are not enough strong words to express how I feel. Blessings, beautiful Cecil, RIP.
How come a living can have no feelings for other livings?!? You are no human, no nothing, paramecium. I have no words to express how I feel for Cecile and how I feel for the bastard. I could do what ever it takes to make him feel how the animals felt that he murdered. So sad :'(
This absolutely makes me sick. The "thrill" of hunting an animal just as a trophy is wrong. Cecil was so majestic and beautiful. Heartbreaking!!
Killing for pleasure... Jeffrey Dahmer felt the same way Doc ??????!!!!!!!!
You all seem to want him dead, but that wouldn't make you any different from him, you know? He has a family he's responsible for, and i am not defending this a*****e's actions but i hope his family doesn't suffer the consequences as well, which is inebitable with all this bullying and forcing him to close his dental office... Just put him in jail? Is that not enough? It's not gonna be rainbows and butterflues in there..
Isn't that what will happen to the cubs....always think of the consequences...did this piece of s**t worry when he was " introducing" his family to his trophies? I hope he suffers unimaginably like Cecil did
Load More Replies...i hope someone cuts his f*cking head off and skins him, wouldn't that be karma....erm no. because he wasn't protecting 24 cubs like cecil was. this one act of barbarism will probably now result in 25 lion deaths in total
>>!! The only way for him to actually really prove that he is sorry is if he would in future dedicate his spare time and money in supporting or launching a wildlife protection organisation. Instead of spending money and wasting time to kill, show us that you mean what you say and spend your money and time to keep them save. Only then might we forgive you. Till then screw you and thanks for nothing
F*****g a*****e..."An activity I love and practice legally" I hope you stuck on an HIV infected door nail. How can you look at yourself in the mirror and not hate yourself you psychopath!!!
Not only did this idiot kill a magnificent animal , he used a bow & arrow to injure it making it suffer for 40 hours !!! Boy I hope the rest of his life is a miserable bad karma existence .
It`s a shame to kill for pleasure! Hunters are coward killers! Hunters should be punished as criminals!
Nothing legal about killing lions!! He should be fed to the lions somewhere where he can't escape.
Please take the hide and head from him. Return it to cecils home land and then burn it.
Load More Replies...palmer, dont get tangled up in your f**king excuses. you dont give a single f**k bout that, dont u?
What a pussy, I hope he's never able to practice dentisty again. Dying broke in the gutter is too good for him but I guess it'll have to do.
i WANT THAT BASTARD DEAD. HE SHOULD SUFFER THE SAME FATE AS CECIL: SHOT WITH AN ARROW, BLEED OUT FOR 40 HOURS, THEN SHOT AND BEHEADED....that is how he killed this beautiful defenseless animal.
Please put him in jail for a very long time. That is the only way other protected animals will be safe and able to live in their protective areas. Zimbabwe and other countries must stop giving out kill permits! I hope Palmer dies broke beheaded and skinned with his carcass left out to rot.
we can speed up his extradition I donated at http://cecilthelion.wix.com/cecilthelion
m**********r..it need send him to Guantanamo prison for 20-25 years..next time he ll kill woman or baby and make win picture like fascist..
If he didn't know it was illegal, he wouldn't have tried to hide the tracking collar.
S0 he will be personally responsible for the death of 25 lions - 24 which will be in the wildlife park (Cecil's cubs). What is so" sportsman" like about that? Especially when the world has already lost 90% of all lions? He already got off with probation once - jail time might be the only punishment that will stop this killer!
There's no respect for wild life. Animals are no trophy to hunt down.
He has a record: "According to U.S. court records, Palmer pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin. Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents. He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000." http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/29/man-accused-in-lion-death-says-he-thought-hunt-was-legal/21215351/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cbon1-c%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D-261050995
Unbelievable! So that's his idea of being responsible? Ugh! It turns my stomach! What a nasty, vile man!
Load More Replies...I think you purposely shot Cecil because of his black mane. You'll definitely display it.
The only time i think hunting is good is when it is a part of your life. Just like tribe people do and in the past native americans. When you need to hunt to feed others and yourself, to use as much of the animal as possible as to say you respect what the animal offers you for its life. Not hunting a animal for sports where you just kill an animal who has as much right to be on this planet as we do. If they want to do it for sports we should let those people hunt with what nature gives them.... Bare hands or maybe a stone knife. Let's see how long they last against a lion. Sports will be over quick trust me :P Pardon my bad English
This dentist if a psychopathic a*****e!!! How dare he!! I think he needs to be shot, killed, beheaded, and skinned himself. This is despicable :'C Trophy hunting in any way is terrible, if you hunt, YOU USE IT, THE MEAT, THE SKIN, THE BONES, EVERYTHING. TROPHY HUNTING ON ITS OWN IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT HUNTING A BELOVED LION FOR FAME AND PROFIT IS WAY TOO FAR...This guy needs to be burned in the deepest, I repeat, the DEEPEST pits of hell!!! Shame on him. Shame. On. Him.
I'm glad his dental office closed. He does it just to kill. He's horrible. He paid MONEY to end an animal's life? He's not just disgusting, he's insufferable. ...Sociopath.
Killing for pleasure is the most f****ed up thing...What makes you any different from a serial killer you mental psychopath ? Killing animals or abusing animals should be punishable by death...
It's not just the Cecil the lion who was murdered, but the 24 precious cubs as well.
This scumbag is back to work. I hope that he gets extradited back to Zimbabwe.
You should read all the comments to him because he thinks it's so cool to kill animals that we love
What a jerk. Killing animals for the fun of it should be a crime by itself.
We are definitely a society with our priorities, values etc. are messed up. Money can buy murder etc....I agre that this guy is just an murdering, lying,egotistical a*s. It is also very wrong that this makes world wide news, while abortion, fetal organ harvesting, late term abortion etc. does sometimes make the news, but ppl do not get outraged by it; they don't want to hunt the perpetrators down etc. Just a sad commentary on our society. We are so very, very backward. Throw out God and The Bible, and worship movie stars.....
What a sick ego - to enjoy something I must dominate and kill. Pity his poor wife!!!
NO ONE should murder beautiful endangered animals. Walter Palmer is a scum bag, a very hated man. This whole county is pissed off and is demanding justice! We need to BAN trophy hunting NOW. It's cruel, barbaric and disgusting. Anyone who does it is ego driven with no conscience or soul. And unconscionable crime against the world. I hope he realizes that he has galvanized an angry nation to END that "activity that he loves", trophy hunting!
I do hate hunting for sport when the dead animal is left to rot. It was very sad that he was wounded and suffered for so long.
Cecil was an old lion who most likely would have been killed eventually by much younger males. He shouldn't have suffered for as long as he did.

m**********r..it need put him in prison for 20-25..fascits..next time he ll kill woman or some baby..
Records have it that in Wisconsin he killed a black bear--but it wasn't in a legal hunting area so he dragged it forty miles(!!) to put it in a legal area and elude arrest...he was caught, and paid hefty fines...he belongs in a cage.
He is a murdering savage and should be brought to trial as such. I hope his business and lifestyle fail and that he loses any friends that he might have.
Hiding behind a rifle to take on the king of the jungle........... too coward to fight him on equal grounds. What is the thrill......... killing the king ( in a cowardly way... with a rifle) ..... To show the world wow.... Look my achievement !! Can Hunting is the animal usually tranquilized and I am certain this was no different............... What do you think ! .... how low is your self esteem to be proud of killing a tranquilized canned animal.......... Wow you feel great hey? The wheel will turn on you Mr. Scared Of teeth I presume - especially Lion teeth! Mr Dentist ! !
How can hunting for pleasure be a legal activity??? Did you know that countries like South Africa use lions and other animals with that sole purpose? When they are cubs, they are exhibited at zoos for people to cuddle them. When they grow up, they are sent to reservations where they can be "legally" shot!! The South African government calls this "a sustainable use of natural resurces", even though lions are an endangered species!!

Extradite him to Zimbabwe. Make him PAY and then to prison in Zimbabwe...
I hope the man rots. I wish bankruptcy for him and never another happy day in his life. I don't understand why the US doesn't make it illegal to bring the heads and body parts of animals back from other countries. For a degenerate like this the thrill would be gone. Zimbabwe is another issue and should be on a no fly list. Take away the money and these poor animals might survive.
THe monster deserves to be hunted, shot with a bow and arrow and skinned and decapitated same treatment he gave poor Cecil
Disgusting, barbaric, the guy should be let loose in a lion cage full of Cecil's remaining family.
This disgusting morally bankrupt man should be ashamed of what he has done, not only to Cecil but to all the wildlife he has "hunted" in his life. However, I do believe he is only sorry he got caught. Financial ruin is the only thing this stinking creep will understand so think before you decide whether you want him working on y our teeth. Killing animals and glorying in his murderous activities is a sign of a psychopath.
I sure hope this jerk and the others like lim, who kill just for the killing and the thrill of it, to suffer the same fate. To be hunted for days and then killed just for fun. How could someone call himself human being, when killing not for food ot protection, but for fun?
Don't worry. This a*s-hat will get what is coming to him. His dental practice is ruined. He is the most hated man in the U.S. right now. There is a certain type of sociopath that needs to do this. Kill for the sake of killing. It's the same mindset that starts war for the sheer wanting it. These types of men are dinosaurs, should be routed out and shamed. I wish we still had the pillaries of days of old. Lock him in there. Let people spit on him, throw whatever garbage they have. He's a liar. He knew exactly what he was doing because he's done it before. His one and only regret now is that HE GOT CAUGHT. What a sorry excuse for a human being.
Well, Palmer you need to see a shrink! It is too late to apologize! Your mother should be ashamed of the son she gave birth to - you are not a humam, nor an animal, bit something completely different that has no name. Shame on you! Pervert! You are a killer. You could have sepnt 55,000 $ in charity instead ...
THIS CREEP AND COWARD HAS NO MORALS AND SHOULD BE HUNTED AND SKINNED LIKE HE DOES THE POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS..HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR MURDER OF INNOCENT ANIMALS...
The fact the he paid somone to lure this particular lion out of his home to kill him indicates to me that he was not hunting just any lion, he is calculated murderer. He just wanted to murder zimbabwe's beloved pet cat.
I hope he goes broke, then he'll never have the money to kill any other wild animals!
He is a liar! He is breaking the Law again! He has done this before, with a bear, paid his fine (small for his obvious deep pockets), and does it again. He is a repeat offender!!! Hope the proper authorities will not let his money buy him out of this! And we all know how that works, rite? SMFH
I think POS Palmer better stay out of the U.S. and if he comes back I hope he meets up with a serial killer that cuts his head off and stuffs it up his a*s.
Just saying, the dead lion in the picture is not Cecil, but ANOTHER lion the same asshat killed.
Hunt him down, skin him and leave him for the other lions to feed on. Arsehole!
Look, ok, the first voice of reason: Is hunting down a lion wrong: yes. But is it therefore any better for this to become a media circus? The article isn't even about the lion anymore, it's about the dentist being procecuted worst than most seriall killers and a lot of 'Celeberties' (most of which have never seen a lion or even know the difference between a lion and a tiger) Jumping the atention train. Maybe they should be jumping on the climate change train or stay on the: 'Children are still dying in Afrika' train... in conclusion: yes killing a lion is wrong, it shouldn't have happened, now stop looking for attention and to blame the 'evil' dentist and go put you tweets and work into issues we can still, and should still, do something about. Now, for the americans amongst you: let me clarufy: this is an opinion, because it differs from yours does not mean I'm 'evil' or 'wanted the lion dead'
"Palmer, who is married with two children and is originally from North Dakota, says on the website that he “enjoys all outdoor activities.” “Anything allowing him to stay active and observe and photography wildlife is where you will find Dr. Palmer when he is not in the office,” the website says." from HEAVY - I feel sorry for his children (for that kind of a father)
Disturbing to realize over and over how little we have evolved as a species that killing and blood sports and war are actively pursued to this day. If you pay someone to help you kill a person, you are both charged with the crime. If you pay someone to help kill an animal you should be charged just the same.
The hell does anyone trying to prove by killing any animal. Having to much of everything does not satisfy anything syndrome?? Go climb Mt. Everest and jump see if we give a s**t!
Put him back without his bow and arrow in the midst of 10 lions.. Even one will do.. Lets then see his manliness... Foremost, also the park authorities should try to save the cubs. Losing them will be a total calamity.
still can't see how men feel hunting is acceptable for fun...so very sad
What a disgusting human. I cannot see why someone would want to do this to a beautiful innocent animal. Senseless, cruel, and totally unforgiveable. I would like to see someone bowhunt him and make him suffer for endless hours. This story makes me so sick, I just cannot fathom it. How dare he hurt such a defenseless animal, there are no more words I can express on this.
This is so awful, whats worse is the cubs will now die to. This disgusting piece of s**t should go to jail and pay hefty amounts to animal conservation to make back only a fraction of the harm and pain hes caused. So angry with this , who kills s majestic creature like a lion??
"I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” You've got to be f*#!in kidding me. So he regrets this? Isn't the goal of every hunt illegal or legal ,to kill an animal. Sounds a bit like regretting to get wet after going for a swim. At least take responsibilty for what you've surely known the consequences of and stop sugarcoating it you coward.
The only way to shoot any animal is with a camera! This one lone hunter has taken away the opportunity for other Photographic Trophy Hunters away. How extremely selfish was that? Cecil had a tracking collar on him for heavens sake!! I say: Catch this idiot, draw & quarter him and feed him to Cecil's family.
this is a superb tribute to cecil....thanx.....i hope that killer gets lynched
"I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” You take tablets or you take a bus. You don't 'take' a life. What a God-complex this a*****e has. I hope he now knows how it feels to be hunted.
The killing of Cecil, the black maned lion of Zimbabwe, as celebrity, obviously saddened me. But ithis shouldn't only be about Cecil. Hundreds of other (big) game animals are being killed in the same fashion. Some well to do "hunter" goes to Africa, near a reserve, where these animals are not as weary, used to harmlessly cross humans in parcs. Hunt of the chosen animal (there is a list to pick from) is arranged for big money in a specific are on a specific date (makes you wonder about the agenda of the animal, doesn't it???!!!) with the assistance of a professional hunter and some locals so no harm will come to the paying guest. "Sports" hunting must be forbidden. Unfortunately BIG money and many corrupt sticky fingers are involved. Against personal gain, particularly in developing countries, animal protection doesn't stand a chance.
Killing for food is one thing, killing for pleasure is disgusting. That animal was a beautiful living breathing creature.......now hes someones trophy.....how shallow........do you beat your chest too?
I hope he f*****g dies a horrible death and his family dies too! Son of a b***h! Would strangle him with my own hands!!!
Killing for pleasure IS MURDER this POS scumbag poacher needs to be extradited to Zimbabwe and let him face his punishment! He is only sorry he was caught and has no regard for LIFE period!
A*****E. Look at those photos, of how PROUD he is of killing an animal. Feeling all macho and powerful. He probably has a micro-penis and an enormous ego, needing to actually murder beautiful animals in order to feel better. And "...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." ? Really? Responsibly? You're murdering responsibly? Please.
Even if he believed it was legal, WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE TO KILL ANIMALS???? What kind of a sport or hobby is it to kill a creature????
Extradite him to Zimbabwe so they can put him on trial, sentence him to the max, and put him is the worst of their prisons. One year for every hour that Cecil suffered - 40 years, plus penalties and additional sentencing for violation of Zimbabwe laws.
I hope he doesnt have a long happy life and his life becomes miserable.
Toss him in as food 2 the lions. Man I'm mad, this killer couldn't be my dentist
Phucking murderer. He should be tossed in with the other lions for 40 hours without a gun.
THIS is true cruelty! Hunting for sport shouldn't even be something people are allowed to do! And if this guy actually believed the b******t lies he said about not knowing it was illegal he wouldn't be in hiding! Someone who is telling the truth wouldn't need to hide they would hold their head up high and THIS waste of a human is a lying coward who thinks he's a man by killing a majestic animal but is obviously nothing more than a cowardly piece of scum who can't even face the consequences of his actions! What a low life waste of human flesh.
What a pathetic statement he gave to his actions! He is just regretting he got busted while "pursuing an activity he loves"! If I were in your shoes (never) I'd start running...run fast...run far....don't stop running...don't look back...just F*ing RUN!!!
F_ _ _all hunters! You are all cowards! The reason you hunt is to direct your hatred towards defenseless animals. It's not a sport, it's pure violance. Hunting should be outlawed and Palmer- I hope you spend the rest of your life hating yourself for what you've done.
F_ _ _ all hunters! You are all cowards! The reason you hunt defenseless animals in the 1st place is to direct your hatred towards other things to defenseless animals. Hunting is not a sport. It is an act of violance and should be outlawed.
How can hunting be an activity to be loved. If this was done to a human, he would be called a psychopath. Why is animal life so cheap that it becomes a Game, an "activity"
We need the capital punishment for this human critter Palmer, and never forget Cecil, never forget about this psychos, We need more international laws because he is not the first nor the last. Only see his face makes me want to vomit.
This was not "hunting". Hunting is when you go out alone, and find your prey, and then kill it, because you need FOOD. Hunting is not paying someone to lure the animal out into the open, blinding it with spotlights and then shooting it with an arrow, which only wounds it, and then following it to "finish" it off.
He should man up and go back, take the legal consequences coming to him.
Send him back there to face the legal ramifications. Because, the coward that he is, would never offer that justice up himself. Makes me sick.
What do I think? I think extradite him back to Zim for a trial and a ban on his passport thereafter to any country with 'big game'. With such a vile act of supreme ignorance, disrespect and stupidity, there should be a legal price to pay.
Extradite his a*s to Zimbabwe and lock him in a lion's cage. Let them hunt him and feast on his bones.
You need to stop hunting and killing these animals for sport. Find a hobby that creates life not death!
Palmer said “I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt… I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” That's BS. He knew exactly what he was doing. It's not even the first time he's hunted illegally. He was caught illegally killing a black bear in Canada awhile back on protected lands.
Umm.... Not that I approve any of these actions, but, what it's called "big animals hunting" is been going on for years in Africa... And no one is bothered, now I understand this Lion was famous but what about "all" the others ?
I hope that he gets prosecuted to the fullest extent for doing such a horrible and heartless act! At one time man needed to hunt to survive but now there is no need for this type of "sport" unless these brave scum agree to do it on a fair playing field and let the animals hunt them. Breaks my heart what happen to this beautiful animal who was protected.
This breaks my heart that this beautiful animal who under protection was so cruelly and illegally coaxed out and then slaughtered because this heartless human felt a need to try and prove that he was the "great hunter". Shame on you and I hope you are prosecuted for killing Cecil. RIP Cecil.
He is the consummate scum! Tonette Palmer, how can you sleep with this cockroach? Anyway hon prepare for a different life. Go ahead and start divorcing him now it's inevitable you are better off without him. You should have kicked him to curb after he sexually harassed his staff!
Also, he should be stationed at the sanctuary to protect the cubs that will be killed in order to establish hierarchy. that's the LEAST he can do...
In this day and age, with most of our wildlife on the verge of extinction, all big game hunting should be illegal. This is not sport. It is so wrong on so many levels.. Jerks.
Look at all the outrage... sheesh. Americans shoot over 600 male lions in Africa every year under similar conditions, and no one says anything. This outrage is remarkably hypocritical. Grow the heck up, already - you have bigger issues than this.
I'm very sad reading this. People who hunt for pleasure must be mentally ill and dangerous. I wish that he is hunted and his last moment reflects how the lion (and other animals he hunted) felt.
HE IS NOT ONLY A KILLER & A LIAR BUT HE IS A COWARD. I WISH THE ZIMBABWEANS COULD CATCH & PUT HIM IN JAIL. THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE! HE WOULD SOON NEED A DENTIST!
If you don't eat it, you don't kill it. The only other justification is defense when attacked. Killing for no reason is wrong...no matter what the species.
Entitled, self-indulgent sociopath (which is redundant, I know) Poor Cecil hid from his murderers for 40 hours after being shot with an arrow, in intense pain and bewilderment. And yes, the social structure of his pride has been toppled, and other male lions will kill 24 of Cecil's cubs. Sickening.
This may seem extreme and unfair to some. I think, though, that it's incomprehensible that these jerks persist in posting grinning pictures of themselves hovering over the corpses of their victims. There was a time when this c**p was admired by many, but attitudes are changing, and I hope that people will think twice before they do this sort of thing. Perhaps, at the very least, they won't be so quick to bask in the glory of their loathsome accomplishments.
I don't understand the joy of killing such a magnificent animal or any animal. We are destroying the world. leaving less & less land for nature & endangering species. This is supposed to be an intelligent man. What is going on in his head? I hope people stop going to his clinic. He losers his business. Then he never be able to buy another arrow to kill anything else
Yeah, why would someone kill animals.. he shud be killing the Muslims instead....
"My pursuit of an activity that I practice responsibility"??? Illegal hunting, illegal fishing, poaching! What a peach! Totally misunderstood dentist!! This a*****e should be hunted down and wounded and then 40 hrs later killed! I sincerely hope that Zimbabwe extradites him and puts him in jail! Disgusting man!
Walter Palmer is a liar who got caught poaching a bear a few years ago in the U.S. He tried to lie and hide the fact that he was 30 miles outside the legal hunting area but was found guilty. He's no stranger to illegal hunts and has no problem with them until he's caught. Take away this mans practice and financially ruin him. It's harsh but it's illegal to hunt people so he's getting it better that Cecil...
The US government needs to arrest his happy a*s and ship him back there to stand trial and go to jail in a nice nasty prison for a good long time. Gee dude you won't have near the rights and certainly not the nice cushy cell and decent food you'd get in a US jail.
Disgraceful coward. I thought we humans had evolved past "thrill" killing.
I am glad his dental practice has been closed. This man will be haunted, and hopefully hunted, for the rest of his natural life if there is ANY justice in this crazy world!
I hope his business goes down the pan now, what a total twat he is. I can't even bare to look at him
Palmer is a bottom feeding liar! He claims he didn't know it was an illegal hunt... than why the hell did they have to lure the lion out of the protected area? Then they did not report it when the collar was discovered, he ran like a coward back to the US where he thought it would all blow over... he deserves to lose his practice and go to jail, because this is not his first time being caught hunting illegally. I would love to be protesting outside his home right now.
He's probably here...his Florida home 914 Scott Dr, Marco Island, FL 34145
He's probably here at his Florida home: 914 Scott Dr, Marco Island, FL 34145
If this sicko finds such pleasure in killing things why not send him over to any war zone so he can get his jollies from killing for real....maybe if we are lucky he might catch a bullet too, him and the poachers involved...unfortunately it will never be stamped out as there always is someone out there with more money than the last and greedy low life's who benefit from such acts.

There are no words strong enough, hateful enough or obscene enough to express the dislike for this man and all those like him.
There are no words strong enough, hurtful enough, bad enough to express the sorrow for this beautiful animal and the dislike for this man and all of those like him.
I hope someone lures him into traffic and it takes 40 minutes for him to die as he's run over time after time.!
It takes a special kind of sicko to admit that this is an activity he "loves". I can't understand how ANYONE can "love" to watch the life drain out of a living creature. Hunting for food, as a necessity, is one thing (personally, I still couldn't do it, I don't have it in me), but to "love" killing something simply for the sake of killing it--as a TROPHY--while discarding the remains as nothing more than trash, is despicable! And it deeply saddens me! This weak excuse for a human being wounds the poor creature, hunts it down for forty hours, than finishes the job--without giving it a second thought. And the ONLY reason why he's apologizing is because he didn't realize it was a "celebrity"!?! Otherwise... what? He'd be proud of himself for catching and killing a lion? All I know is, shame on him! He deserves every bit of unpleasantness that has been heading his way!
The f*****g a*****e like killing defendles animals .Big hunter..wat a sick ego.
Legal shmegal. You ended the life of a majestic animal so you could have his head on your wall. It's just so very unbelievable and reprehensible. The lion walked, and breathed and took care of a family. Legal or not it's just so wrong so don't even try to defend yourself because you thought you were following the rules.
Other reports said he's done this before. To an rndangered black bear. He was told to pay a fine and got probation. What a load of crock. If everything could be solved with an apology, we wouldn't need jails! Can't the authorities take the cubs and sell them to other zoos?
I see no justification for this kind of "sport". He should go "mano a mano" with his targets if he wants to be sporting.
He lives here in my city. HIs office is closed for now but will certainly reopen once things cool down which they certainly will because people forget and move onto other things to be outraged about. I am appalled and horrified that he did this but if we are all truly angry enough, then let's do something to make his death not in vain. Support legislation that makes it a criminal act to import exotic and protected animal parts into this country and make it illegal to shoot protected animals here. We are the second largest purchaser of illegal animal parts int he world and we are the number one country for big game hunting. Let's do something about this folks because if we don't there will be another Cecil, as well as countless other animals, killed in the name of sport and to quell our desire for exotic things.
Any mention that killer #walterpalmer almos serverd jail time in 2008 because the ilegal killing of a black bear in 2006?... (And, saddly that stupid #walterpalmer kills a white rhinoceros too. And who knows how many other animals!)
Any mention of that he almost served jail time in 2008 because the ILEGAL killing of a black bear in 2006?... Hope this time he can't escape.
"deeply regret" my a*s. He paid people to LURE an almost-tame lion OUT of a protected area, so he could exercise his psychopathy in a "legal" manner. This stupid guy should be banned from entering ANY country where wild animals are hunted. There is NO place for this kind of behavior in our world anymore. I hope he loses his clinic and practice. Maybe then he'll REALLY regret spending 55 thousand dollars on such an obscenity.
He's not sorry he killed the lion; he's sorry he's now the most hated man in the world. Every anniversary of Cecil's death should bring this man back to the public eye. Not JUST for Cecil but for all of the other innocent rare & beautiful animals he has unfairly lured out to shoot & kill AS A HOBBY! Coward. COWARD! "May you never be able to reopen your practice"...my Irish curse to you, mr. palmer.
Cecil was followed 40 hours till he died, Palmer should be followed 40 years until he dies, suffering.
Thanks to POTUS this I believe will end, keep off our wild life! It is sad that governments protect you! Waiting for law to take effect! No poaching, no snayers! I can enjoy my homeland!
He's not sorry for killing the lion; he kills as a HOBBY! He's sorry that he's now infamous, period. Let's just hope he's not the most hated man of the HOUR! May he NEVER be able to re-open his practice. Every year on July 1, we should remind the world what this prick did. Not just for Cecil; but, for the other unsuspecting species that he lured out unfairly and slaughtered.
I hope he got pleasure out of it - cause it's the last pleasure he'll ever get
*ull*hit. if you think you are so in the right why did you flee? Are your parents proud of your actions? Your neighbors? Your Staff? Rot in Hell.
I don't care whose fault it is. We should not kill animals for sport.
This evil pathetic excuse of a man should be severely punished....how can he take pride in this most abhorent act. I hope the decent citizens, of which there are many, of the USA completely boycott his dental practice and force him to close so he can't ever again afford to murder any more innocent animals. I hope this cowardly vile individual gets dealt a massive blow of karma in the very near future.
I have a loss for words on this!! It just makes me sick to my stomach, and I hope he pays dearly for this.who knows how many other innocent animals he's killed for his sick, dimented mind!!!!!
A weak, pathetic man whom feels power in killing defenceless animals by convincing himself he's hunting the environments ultimate predator!! TWAT!!! Even the odds a little - stick Dr Wimpy in the bush with a couple of special forces guys: watch the hunter become the hunted.
why he didn't try to kill him with his own hands?!? wanna take his teeth !!
His behavior is reprehensible and he should be prosecuted. The hunting company should be ordered to return the fee and have it used toward lion conservation. I can think of worse outcomes for the dentist, but best not to put in writing.
GOOD THIS LOSER SHOULD BE HUNTED AND KILLED JUST LIKE THIS INNOCENT ANIMAL. So heartless and cruel! :(
I hope pieces of s...it like this guy would die in the same way he killed the wonderful creatures this imbecile killed! I've seen yesterday his blog!!!! Hes's f...ked up!
What the hell is wrong with people? I feel even killing an animal for food if you live in a civilized society with plenty of food around is barbaric. How sad. Dentists are known to just be frickin' WEIRD!!
We should kill him ! After all humans are not under protection, especially this one !
IF THIS A*****E IS NOT PUT IN JAIL, FINED AND HOPEFULLY KILLED, THERE IS NO JUSTICE! ANIMAL LIVES MATTER.
my deepest wish is that this rotten person should die a very slow maximum painful and cruel death with cancer in all his body parts, crying for release of all that suffering and the only cure would be to hunt him down with sharp hot arrows in a endless battue! All I can feel is deep HATE and I just hope that fate will come over him at give him what he deserves! Such rotten person must be eliminated from planet earth, they infect everything with their FUN about killing animals just for pleasure! I am so upset!!! I could cry !!!!!!
i sincerely hope this ruins his business and in turn his life. what a horrible excuse for a human being.
He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is. Palmer was very into this and he has killed many big game animals over 70 as I recall. He had to know who Cecil was, how famous he was, and PALMER specifically WANTED Cecil as a trophy. He had to know. Anything else Palmer says in a LIE ,, in my opinion. He's been doing this for years and years. He knew who Cecil was.
the american dentist must be killed and in the hell in the fire die die die tener que ser en infierno en el fuego para siempre
Kurwa nie człowiek. Jak każdy zjeb zabijający istoty żywe dla rozrywki
Liberals in America and abroad are horrified at the hunting death of Cecil the Lion in South Africa by American dentist Dr. Walter J. Palmer. Social media has lit up in outrage over someone who would dare kill the beloved lion for sport. In the headlines today, Palmer is being lambasted as a “coward and a killer” and is receiving multiple death threats. PETA has said on it’s Twitter account that Palmer should “hang himself” for what he did. Wow, truly a hardcore reaction. But evidently, killing human babies is ok. Since midnight last night, 1,470 abortions were performed in America with 53, 983 performed worldwide. From the time that I started to type just this very sentence, 30 abortions have been completed with the blood still flowing from their mothers wombs. 30 dead babies in the time it took to write that one sentence! Yet, there is no liberal outrage, no calls for abortion doctors to “hang themselves”, no lit candles and stuffed animal memorials set up anywhere by liberals.
Pls just let this be about Cecil..He deserves that.
Load More Replies...I hate the penalty of death but this a*s... but well.. .for this a*s I could make an exception! I'm to far away from him. But people who see him should just spit in his face. He is trash. His f*****g statement proofs it. He understood nothing. Why are people like that alive? They should all shoot each other and let other people an animals live there happy lifes.

If he Loves hunting just for Fun. Then He Needs to quit Hunting! This shows he has made way too much Money in that town fixing peoples Teeth! He should have donated the Money to charity. Guess he wanted to feel Like a Big Man for 1 day.
I don't give a flying rats bum if it's legal, Illegal, responsible or not. Killing for sport is repugnant.
His apology is not accepted, he needs to pay a HUGE fine to the park, NEVER ever hunt innocent animals again, and jail time would be nice finish. Oh, and close down his practice so he won't be able to earn enough money to kill innocent creatures.
What a pompous a*****e. Smiling like a douche bag for killing a protected animal. What if someone did that to him? Humans are protected under law. Does that mean you can pay someone money to hunt one? No, fking idiot. I hope youre never able to open any type of practice again, you lose your house and Assets From going bankrupt. You dont deserve a good life after killing a protected creature. If you had any brains you wouldnt kill something people would uproar about and cause you so much problems. But you dont have much of a brain do you. No. Why dont you go into a cage with a lion and see who wins. You are nothing but scum with a weapon.
His business needs to be shut down forever, pay money to the park where the lion was at, pay a HUGE fine, and never, never hunt again - ever. Oh, yes, and jail time!!!
So.... Dentist hunt? Anybody? I've got the weapons and the ammo, someone else want to bring the beer?
Yeah what a big man, "responsibly"maiming a beautiful animal, letting him suffer, then mutilating him. You are a monster and you will rot in hell for killing this beautiful creature of Good. You deserve the same fate.
Put this guy and all the others like him in a field, with no weapons. Then let them be hunted. For sport.

US dentist Palmer and Bronkhorst shot Cecil with a bow at night and then let him suffer for another 24-48 long hours. When they finally found him, they had no intention of helping him but only wanted to cold bloodily shoot him dead with a bullet - the questions is......how did they not see that he was wearing a special collar?

People who love to do tis are also doing it easily with humans. Killing is in their sick minds an they are dangerous.and ought to be locked up. But BOYCOT his clinic and bring him down in the gutter. You do not want to be treated by a murderer.?
how would he feel if he were shot skinned and beheaded , what goes around comes around he better watch his back he deserves to lose everything.
"Local professional guides"? I think he made a huge mistake. For 55,000 a " local " might just kill an endangered white rhino much less a beloved lion. My gosh.
I don't think he shoulder all the blame, obviously the guide knew it wasn't legal, burn him also.
To kill such a magnificent being is criminal! This"man" must have a small penis and an even smaller heart. Oh, and no soul!!!
As if his pathetic statement is any kind of excuse. "my pursuit of an activity I love"....sure wouldn't let that toerag anywhere near me, my wife or kids. Sick bastard that loves killing. Why don't you just f**k off and die.
He should be send to Africa safari without gun and knifes alone ,let him feel what is real hunt feels like !

Fat a*****e healing his inferiority complex on animals. Same goes to his friend. Two losers!!!
Lions as a animal type are too rare. As always it takes a celebrity death for people to notice Jack A$$ lkke him.
!!!......The only way he could actually be forgiven is if he would donate or start a wildlife protection program and dedicate half or most of his life and money in that, instead of paying to kill . That's only a fair deal. And his apology would then actually look honest.
He really believes that killing an animal declared by the world as endangered is legal in any country. What a fool.
Why don't we hunt down his kids and say it was done responsibly? How can killing an innocent be a "fun activity" or "done responsibly"? I hope Zimbabwean authorities can have him extradited and tried for this crime, but probably US government will just shrug and let it be.
I'm more worried about the cubs. Can't they go take them somewhere safe? I know it isn't that easy but supposed you have a meerkat and warthog to take care of those poor cubs? :/ okay i was kidding about the meerkat and warthog. But please let the cubs be safe.
so, it was ok and legal to slaughter animals for years until you hit a celebrity... this drives me mad.
I hope someone shoots the bastard so that he spends his last hours in agony. Sick m**********r
There's really just no honorable way to spin this. the African Lion is an endangered species; there is literally no legal way to kill one for pleasure. So basically either he has no idea how endangered species work, or what he meant to say was "I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure an illegal hunt in which I'd escape the legal consequences. " Let's also not forget that the lion was probably accustomed to seeing the worker who lured him on a regular basis, and depending on the roll the worker played, may have trusted him a fair deal and probably didn't expect any danger. Having the animal led directly to you by someone they are accustomed to seeing on a regular basis and would expect no harm from isn't even really a hunt. This is disgusting.
correction: several large groups in charge of this sort of ruling have been trying to get them added to the Endangered Species list, and they have all the qualifications, but they keep getting nixed for some reason. This is even more disturbing, to be honest.

Hunting at night, skinning and leaving the lion's carcass to rot, trying to disable the tracking collar, all point to shady dealings. The man is no better than a poacher out chopping the horns off rhinos. What a sick man. I hope justice finds him.
Sadness in my heart this made me cry. I can't believe these animals aren't protect enough. They need security gaurds, it's so so sad. We as humans need to fight harder for the rights and justice for these animals, this is completely unacceptable. Humanity is failing so much.

This is another most heartbreaking news.. How can a person find peace after murdering other living companion? Shameful... I hope you die the same way.. May you get hunted down by some animal and may your soul never find peace.
Let his passion kill his practice! And his source of income - May his crime never be forgotten - that will ensure he never hunt ever again !
Well if killing animals like this is his thing, I think "... pursuit of an activity I love and practice ..." would be much more fun for him if the tides were turned on him. A manhunt is clearly in order, he needs the adrenaline rush of the hunted.
I think a man hunt is in order here. Dr. Walter James Palmer of Bloomington, Minnesota needs to find out what a fun game it is, from the other side of the fence. "... pursuit of an activity I love and practice ..." - needs the tides turned.
This is not something you do for a sport you sick people !!!! Go to f*****g hell, here let me hunt you and call it a sport Mkay and say it's legal. These animals will become extinct if you people smarten the f**k up and grow a pair, find something else that entertains you other then murdering and killing something so innocent, honestly this guy should be sentenced to prison and his weapons liscense should be taken away forever.

Someone should shoot him with an arrow... then make him run around for 40 hours in pain before killing him... then he'd get his just desserts.

I'd be very surprised if this was his first "illegal" kill. Authorities should be looking at all his trophies.
Bad enough to take the life of any lion. Not knowing it was Cecil is no excuse.
I don't think he is the only one to blame. If the park guides accepted the money anf loored him in to hunt down the lion they should be punished as well. And since they are zimbabuans the authorities should find this very easy to do...
At least two people were already arrested that were involved. They were locals but the actual killer was the dentist that shot the lion with his crossbow, which didn't kill him. Only forty hours later did they track him down and shoot him.

He should either be locked up for life with no chance of parole or have his brain removed (if he has one)
Meanwhile the Democrats have slaughtered 77 million babies here in the USA and nobody raises an eyebrow.....
Really?? With their bare hands? How did they do that? And don't say abortion because that is ridiculous. First off get an education. Abortions kill zygotes not babies unless it is to save the life of the mother. All kinds of women have abortions. Not just democrats and personally, it isn't any of your business if someone else has an abortion. If you don't believe in them then don't have one, but don't tell other people what to do. By the way, since you want all these kids born, how many children have you taken in? Fostered? Adopted? I thought not! You want them born but not fed, clothed, educated or loved. You want them born no matter how horribly sickly they may be. Your not footing the bill so shut the hell up! I chose to have my son at 16 when given a choice, but it was my choice and I will fight for that same choice for others. Also we are not talking about that here. We are discussing animals, who are, in most cases better than humans. This is not a political discussion.

So many are too fast to pass judgement. It was the decision of the local officials and or the safari owners to lure the lion out of the refuge. No one is blaming them at all. Where is the outrage toward those greedy people? Have at it you idiots. I hope if I am ever charged with something you aren't in the jury.
Please tell me you're kidding, you little piece of trash? Can you NOT read, or what's your problem? There was no f*****g "local officials" or "safari owners" involved you moron. There was a LONE guide who accepted a huge amount of cash and a LONE farmer who accepted money for allowing them to hunt on his lands, where they lured Cecil to.

It's nature. The only way these cubs will be saved is if humans intervene, then they'll live in a zoo or wildlife rescue somewhere. Either way, they won't be able to live their life as they should. Unfortunately most of the male cubs would die whether or not Cecil was still alive. They would end up competing with each other to become next in line. That's just the way they are.

And $550,000 for each cub that dies as a result of his actions. If all cubs are killed, that's 25 x $550,000 = $13,750,000.00 to be used in the prevention of poaching and the ending of making big game species a hunted animal. And no bankruptcy option, so if he doesn't have, he loses all he has and works the rest off. Either as a dentist or risking his neck to stop other poachers like himself. Kind of works to solve the problem and, unlike jail, acts a deterrent to rich, bored jackasses who think this kind of c**p is fun. Just saying.
Completely agree. A**holes like this don't understand anything except punishment and the almighty $. So punish him and publicize it so it doesn't happen again. And make him pay for the rest of his miserable life..
Load More Replies...trophy hunting sickens me, and should be illegal. He and the guides should be punished to the full extent of the law with Heavy fines and imprisonment and loss of any licenses forever... and the Lion's head and skin returned to Zimbabwe to be honored in a memorial to Cecil. These so-called 'hunters' need to be stopped.
Heartbreaking. This man DESERVES all the negative press...although none of it will bring back the beautiful creature.
He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is.
What a piece of s**t I hope hid business goes under and won't be able to afford those cross the world trips to kill beautiful animals
"...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." Dr. Palmer, you "love" hunting and killing defenseless animals? Just for a trophy? That is so sad. Next time, try using a camera instead. You still have the thrill of the hunt, and your "target" won't have to suffer and die a miserable death to satisfy this despicable hobby that gives you such pleasure.
He wounded Cecil first to make him "wild" enough to even hunt. He has 43 big game kills. He knew EXACTLY who Cecil was and it was that specific lion he wanted as a trophy. He has been fined for illegal poaching before. he is a loser. He is a detriment to America. Send him back for his punishment.
I dont want this to just "blow over. Something has to be done..what do you suggest?
Load More Replies...My question is... Who was the wildlife guide who accepted $55,000 to let an animal be killed?
Im glad to see his dental practice close. While I don't wish harm to anyone, this man and people like him need to be stripped of everything they own and they should not have the capacity to pay to 'legally kill' anything. whatever the f..k that is! Any animal that is endangered or doesn't end up on a plate should be protected.
I honestly hope AMerica will send him to justice! Such a coward !!! And people signing up for this almost 400 thousand already signed up http://www.thepetitionsite.com/821/738/351/demand-justice-for-cecil-the-lion-in-zimbambwe/
keep spreading the petition around, people need to realize there are consequences to their actions

Hope you enjoy your new job as a night janitor in a warehouse you heartless monster. I pray he never gets a patient again.
Maybe he can get a nice bloody job in a slaughter house. The stench of blood is sickening and he'll get to kill all he wants. Maybe he can hang a chicken head on his wall.
Load More Replies...It seems unlikely that a veteran hunter could possibly mistake an activity in which an animal within proximity of a wildlife preserve is lured, beheaded, skinned and discarded as a "legal hunt."
Hunting was part of a life style of the Native americans or tribal folks. It was to feed others and yourself, to use as much as possible of the animal.... To respect what the animal has given you with its life. To kill something for sport and use nothing of it is just pure disrespect of a life you've just ended. All this to have a disgusting picture in your memoires of hunting.
he's a despicable piece of s*** (not worthy of human status). I hope someone hunts him down with a bow and leaves him to suffer for 40 hours before chopping his head off!!! I hope his life is ruined for ever for this disgusting deed. There are not enough strong words to express how I feel. Blessings, beautiful Cecil, RIP.
How come a living can have no feelings for other livings?!? You are no human, no nothing, paramecium. I have no words to express how I feel for Cecile and how I feel for the bastard. I could do what ever it takes to make him feel how the animals felt that he murdered. So sad :'(
This absolutely makes me sick. The "thrill" of hunting an animal just as a trophy is wrong. Cecil was so majestic and beautiful. Heartbreaking!!
Killing for pleasure... Jeffrey Dahmer felt the same way Doc ??????!!!!!!!!
You all seem to want him dead, but that wouldn't make you any different from him, you know? He has a family he's responsible for, and i am not defending this a*****e's actions but i hope his family doesn't suffer the consequences as well, which is inebitable with all this bullying and forcing him to close his dental office... Just put him in jail? Is that not enough? It's not gonna be rainbows and butterflues in there..
Isn't that what will happen to the cubs....always think of the consequences...did this piece of s**t worry when he was " introducing" his family to his trophies? I hope he suffers unimaginably like Cecil did
Load More Replies...i hope someone cuts his f*cking head off and skins him, wouldn't that be karma....erm no. because he wasn't protecting 24 cubs like cecil was. this one act of barbarism will probably now result in 25 lion deaths in total
>>!! The only way for him to actually really prove that he is sorry is if he would in future dedicate his spare time and money in supporting or launching a wildlife protection organisation. Instead of spending money and wasting time to kill, show us that you mean what you say and spend your money and time to keep them save. Only then might we forgive you. Till then screw you and thanks for nothing
F*****g a*****e..."An activity I love and practice legally" I hope you stuck on an HIV infected door nail. How can you look at yourself in the mirror and not hate yourself you psychopath!!!
Not only did this idiot kill a magnificent animal , he used a bow & arrow to injure it making it suffer for 40 hours !!! Boy I hope the rest of his life is a miserable bad karma existence .
It`s a shame to kill for pleasure! Hunters are coward killers! Hunters should be punished as criminals!
Nothing legal about killing lions!! He should be fed to the lions somewhere where he can't escape.
Please take the hide and head from him. Return it to cecils home land and then burn it.

What a pussy, I hope he's never able to practice dentisty again. Dying broke in the gutter is too good for him but I guess it'll have to do.
i WANT THAT BASTARD DEAD. HE SHOULD SUFFER THE SAME FATE AS CECIL: SHOT WITH AN ARROW, BLEED OUT FOR 40 HOURS, THEN SHOT AND BEHEADED....that is how he killed this beautiful defenseless animal.
Please put him in jail for a very long time. That is the only way other protected animals will be safe and able to live in their protective areas. Zimbabwe and other countries must stop giving out kill permits! I hope Palmer dies broke beheaded and skinned with his carcass left out to rot.
we can speed up his extradition I donated at http://cecilthelion.wix.com/cecilthelion
m**********r..it need send him to Guantanamo prison for 20-25 years..next time he ll kill woman or baby and make win picture like fascist..
If he didn't know it was illegal, he wouldn't have tried to hide the tracking collar.
S0 he will be personally responsible for the death of 25 lions - 24 which will be in the wildlife park (Cecil's cubs). What is so" sportsman" like about that? Especially when the world has already lost 90% of all lions? He already got off with probation once - jail time might be the only punishment that will stop this killer!
There's no respect for wild life. Animals are no trophy to hunt down.
He has a record: "According to U.S. court records, Palmer pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin. Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents. He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000." http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/29/man-accused-in-lion-death-says-he-thought-hunt-was-legal/21215351/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cbon1-c%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D-261050995
Unbelievable! So that's his idea of being responsible? Ugh! It turns my stomach! What a nasty, vile man!
Load More Replies...I think you purposely shot Cecil because of his black mane. You'll definitely display it.
The only time i think hunting is good is when it is a part of your life. Just like tribe people do and in the past native americans. When you need to hunt to feed others and yourself, to use as much of the animal as possible as to say you respect what the animal offers you for its life. Not hunting a animal for sports where you just kill an animal who has as much right to be on this planet as we do. If they want to do it for sports we should let those people hunt with what nature gives them.... Bare hands or maybe a stone knife. Let's see how long they last against a lion. Sports will be over quick trust me :P Pardon my bad English
This dentist if a psychopathic a*****e!!! How dare he!! I think he needs to be shot, killed, beheaded, and skinned himself. This is despicable :'C Trophy hunting in any way is terrible, if you hunt, YOU USE IT, THE MEAT, THE SKIN, THE BONES, EVERYTHING. TROPHY HUNTING ON ITS OWN IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT HUNTING A BELOVED LION FOR FAME AND PROFIT IS WAY TOO FAR...This guy needs to be burned in the deepest, I repeat, the DEEPEST pits of hell!!! Shame on him. Shame. On. Him.
I'm glad his dental office closed. He does it just to kill. He's horrible. He paid MONEY to end an animal's life? He's not just disgusting, he's insufferable. ...Sociopath.
Killing for pleasure is the most f****ed up thing...What makes you any different from a serial killer you mental psychopath ? Killing animals or abusing animals should be punishable by death...
It's not just the Cecil the lion who was murdered, but the 24 precious cubs as well.
This scumbag is back to work. I hope that he gets extradited back to Zimbabwe.
You should read all the comments to him because he thinks it's so cool to kill animals that we love
What a jerk. Killing animals for the fun of it should be a crime by itself.
We are definitely a society with our priorities, values etc. are messed up. Money can buy murder etc....I agre that this guy is just an murdering, lying,egotistical a*s. It is also very wrong that this makes world wide news, while abortion, fetal organ harvesting, late term abortion etc. does sometimes make the news, but ppl do not get outraged by it; they don't want to hunt the perpetrators down etc. Just a sad commentary on our society. We are so very, very backward. Throw out God and The Bible, and worship movie stars.....
What a sick ego - to enjoy something I must dominate and kill. Pity his poor wife!!!
NO ONE should murder beautiful endangered animals. Walter Palmer is a scum bag, a very hated man. This whole county is pissed off and is demanding justice! We need to BAN trophy hunting NOW. It's cruel, barbaric and disgusting. Anyone who does it is ego driven with no conscience or soul. And unconscionable crime against the world. I hope he realizes that he has galvanized an angry nation to END that "activity that he loves", trophy hunting!
I do hate hunting for sport when the dead animal is left to rot. It was very sad that he was wounded and suffered for so long.
Cecil was an old lion who most likely would have been killed eventually by much younger males. He shouldn't have suffered for as long as he did.

Records have it that in Wisconsin he killed a black bear--but it wasn't in a legal hunting area so he dragged it forty miles(!!) to put it in a legal area and elude arrest...he was caught, and paid hefty fines...he belongs in a cage.
He is a murdering savage and should be brought to trial as such. I hope his business and lifestyle fail and that he loses any friends that he might have.
Hiding behind a rifle to take on the king of the jungle........... too coward to fight him on equal grounds. What is the thrill......... killing the king ( in a cowardly way... with a rifle) ..... To show the world wow.... Look my achievement !! Can Hunting is the animal usually tranquilized and I am certain this was no different............... What do you think ! .... how low is your self esteem to be proud of killing a tranquilized canned animal.......... Wow you feel great hey? The wheel will turn on you Mr. Scared Of teeth I presume - especially Lion teeth! Mr Dentist ! !
How can hunting for pleasure be a legal activity??? Did you know that countries like South Africa use lions and other animals with that sole purpose? When they are cubs, they are exhibited at zoos for people to cuddle them. When they grow up, they are sent to reservations where they can be "legally" shot!! The South African government calls this "a sustainable use of natural resurces", even though lions are an endangered species!!

Extradite him to Zimbabwe. Make him PAY and then to prison in Zimbabwe...
I hope the man rots. I wish bankruptcy for him and never another happy day in his life. I don't understand why the US doesn't make it illegal to bring the heads and body parts of animals back from other countries. For a degenerate like this the thrill would be gone. Zimbabwe is another issue and should be on a no fly list. Take away the money and these poor animals might survive.
THe monster deserves to be hunted, shot with a bow and arrow and skinned and decapitated same treatment he gave poor Cecil
Disgusting, barbaric, the guy should be let loose in a lion cage full of Cecil's remaining family.
This disgusting morally bankrupt man should be ashamed of what he has done, not only to Cecil but to all the wildlife he has "hunted" in his life. However, I do believe he is only sorry he got caught. Financial ruin is the only thing this stinking creep will understand so think before you decide whether you want him working on y our teeth. Killing animals and glorying in his murderous activities is a sign of a psychopath.
I sure hope this jerk and the others like lim, who kill just for the killing and the thrill of it, to suffer the same fate. To be hunted for days and then killed just for fun. How could someone call himself human being, when killing not for food ot protection, but for fun?
Don't worry. This a*s-hat will get what is coming to him. His dental practice is ruined. He is the most hated man in the U.S. right now. There is a certain type of sociopath that needs to do this. Kill for the sake of killing. It's the same mindset that starts war for the sheer wanting it. These types of men are dinosaurs, should be routed out and shamed. I wish we still had the pillaries of days of old. Lock him in there. Let people spit on him, throw whatever garbage they have. He's a liar. He knew exactly what he was doing because he's done it before. His one and only regret now is that HE GOT CAUGHT. What a sorry excuse for a human being.
Well, Palmer you need to see a shrink! It is too late to apologize! Your mother should be ashamed of the son she gave birth to - you are not a humam, nor an animal, bit something completely different that has no name. Shame on you! Pervert! You are a killer. You could have sepnt 55,000 $ in charity instead ...
THIS CREEP AND COWARD HAS NO MORALS AND SHOULD BE HUNTED AND SKINNED LIKE HE DOES THE POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS..HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR MURDER OF INNOCENT ANIMALS...
The fact the he paid somone to lure this particular lion out of his home to kill him indicates to me that he was not hunting just any lion, he is calculated murderer. He just wanted to murder zimbabwe's beloved pet cat.
I hope he goes broke, then he'll never have the money to kill any other wild animals!
He is a liar! He is breaking the Law again! He has done this before, with a bear, paid his fine (small for his obvious deep pockets), and does it again. He is a repeat offender!!! Hope the proper authorities will not let his money buy him out of this! And we all know how that works, rite? SMFH
I think POS Palmer better stay out of the U.S. and if he comes back I hope he meets up with a serial killer that cuts his head off and stuffs it up his a*s.
Just saying, the dead lion in the picture is not Cecil, but ANOTHER lion the same asshat killed.
Hunt him down, skin him and leave him for the other lions to feed on. Arsehole!
Look, ok, the first voice of reason: Is hunting down a lion wrong: yes. But is it therefore any better for this to become a media circus? The article isn't even about the lion anymore, it's about the dentist being procecuted worst than most seriall killers and a lot of 'Celeberties' (most of which have never seen a lion or even know the difference between a lion and a tiger) Jumping the atention train. Maybe they should be jumping on the climate change train or stay on the: 'Children are still dying in Afrika' train... in conclusion: yes killing a lion is wrong, it shouldn't have happened, now stop looking for attention and to blame the 'evil' dentist and go put you tweets and work into issues we can still, and should still, do something about. Now, for the americans amongst you: let me clarufy: this is an opinion, because it differs from yours does not mean I'm 'evil' or 'wanted the lion dead'
"Palmer, who is married with two children and is originally from North Dakota, says on the website that he “enjoys all outdoor activities.” “Anything allowing him to stay active and observe and photography wildlife is where you will find Dr. Palmer when he is not in the office,” the website says." from HEAVY - I feel sorry for his children (for that kind of a father)
Disturbing to realize over and over how little we have evolved as a species that killing and blood sports and war are actively pursued to this day. If you pay someone to help you kill a person, you are both charged with the crime. If you pay someone to help kill an animal you should be charged just the same.
The hell does anyone trying to prove by killing any animal. Having to much of everything does not satisfy anything syndrome?? Go climb Mt. Everest and jump see if we give a s**t!
Put him back without his bow and arrow in the midst of 10 lions.. Even one will do.. Lets then see his manliness... Foremost, also the park authorities should try to save the cubs. Losing them will be a total calamity.
still can't see how men feel hunting is acceptable for fun...so very sad
What a disgusting human. I cannot see why someone would want to do this to a beautiful innocent animal. Senseless, cruel, and totally unforgiveable. I would like to see someone bowhunt him and make him suffer for endless hours. This story makes me so sick, I just cannot fathom it. How dare he hurt such a defenseless animal, there are no more words I can express on this.
This is so awful, whats worse is the cubs will now die to. This disgusting piece of s**t should go to jail and pay hefty amounts to animal conservation to make back only a fraction of the harm and pain hes caused. So angry with this , who kills s majestic creature like a lion??
"I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” You've got to be f*#!in kidding me. So he regrets this? Isn't the goal of every hunt illegal or legal ,to kill an animal. Sounds a bit like regretting to get wet after going for a swim. At least take responsibilty for what you've surely known the consequences of and stop sugarcoating it you coward.
The only way to shoot any animal is with a camera! This one lone hunter has taken away the opportunity for other Photographic Trophy Hunters away. How extremely selfish was that? Cecil had a tracking collar on him for heavens sake!! I say: Catch this idiot, draw & quarter him and feed him to Cecil's family.
this is a superb tribute to cecil....thanx.....i hope that killer gets lynched
"I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” You take tablets or you take a bus. You don't 'take' a life. What a God-complex this a*****e has. I hope he now knows how it feels to be hunted.
The killing of Cecil, the black maned lion of Zimbabwe, as celebrity, obviously saddened me. But ithis shouldn't only be about Cecil. Hundreds of other (big) game animals are being killed in the same fashion. Some well to do "hunter" goes to Africa, near a reserve, where these animals are not as weary, used to harmlessly cross humans in parcs. Hunt of the chosen animal (there is a list to pick from) is arranged for big money in a specific are on a specific date (makes you wonder about the agenda of the animal, doesn't it???!!!) with the assistance of a professional hunter and some locals so no harm will come to the paying guest. "Sports" hunting must be forbidden. Unfortunately BIG money and many corrupt sticky fingers are involved. Against personal gain, particularly in developing countries, animal protection doesn't stand a chance.
Killing for food is one thing, killing for pleasure is disgusting. That animal was a beautiful living breathing creature.......now hes someones trophy.....how shallow........do you beat your chest too?
I hope he f*****g dies a horrible death and his family dies too! Son of a b***h! Would strangle him with my own hands!!!
Killing for pleasure IS MURDER this POS scumbag poacher needs to be extradited to Zimbabwe and let him face his punishment! He is only sorry he was caught and has no regard for LIFE period!
A*****E. Look at those photos, of how PROUD he is of killing an animal. Feeling all macho and powerful. He probably has a micro-penis and an enormous ego, needing to actually murder beautiful animals in order to feel better. And "...an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally..." ? Really? Responsibly? You're murdering responsibly? Please.
Even if he believed it was legal, WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE TO KILL ANIMALS???? What kind of a sport or hobby is it to kill a creature????
Extradite him to Zimbabwe so they can put him on trial, sentence him to the max, and put him is the worst of their prisons. One year for every hour that Cecil suffered - 40 years, plus penalties and additional sentencing for violation of Zimbabwe laws.
I hope he doesnt have a long happy life and his life becomes miserable.
Toss him in as food 2 the lions. Man I'm mad, this killer couldn't be my dentist
Phucking murderer. He should be tossed in with the other lions for 40 hours without a gun.
THIS is true cruelty! Hunting for sport shouldn't even be something people are allowed to do! And if this guy actually believed the b******t lies he said about not knowing it was illegal he wouldn't be in hiding! Someone who is telling the truth wouldn't need to hide they would hold their head up high and THIS waste of a human is a lying coward who thinks he's a man by killing a majestic animal but is obviously nothing more than a cowardly piece of scum who can't even face the consequences of his actions! What a low life waste of human flesh.
What a pathetic statement he gave to his actions! He is just regretting he got busted while "pursuing an activity he loves"! If I were in your shoes (never) I'd start running...run fast...run far....don't stop running...don't look back...just F*ing RUN!!!
F_ _ _all hunters! You are all cowards! The reason you hunt is to direct your hatred towards defenseless animals. It's not a sport, it's pure violance. Hunting should be outlawed and Palmer- I hope you spend the rest of your life hating yourself for what you've done.
F_ _ _ all hunters! You are all cowards! The reason you hunt defenseless animals in the 1st place is to direct your hatred towards other things to defenseless animals. Hunting is not a sport. It is an act of violance and should be outlawed.
How can hunting be an activity to be loved. If this was done to a human, he would be called a psychopath. Why is animal life so cheap that it becomes a Game, an "activity"
We need the capital punishment for this human critter Palmer, and never forget Cecil, never forget about this psychos, We need more international laws because he is not the first nor the last. Only see his face makes me want to vomit.
This was not "hunting". Hunting is when you go out alone, and find your prey, and then kill it, because you need FOOD. Hunting is not paying someone to lure the animal out into the open, blinding it with spotlights and then shooting it with an arrow, which only wounds it, and then following it to "finish" it off.
He should man up and go back, take the legal consequences coming to him.
Send him back there to face the legal ramifications. Because, the coward that he is, would never offer that justice up himself. Makes me sick.
What do I think? I think extradite him back to Zim for a trial and a ban on his passport thereafter to any country with 'big game'. With such a vile act of supreme ignorance, disrespect and stupidity, there should be a legal price to pay.
Extradite his a*s to Zimbabwe and lock him in a lion's cage. Let them hunt him and feast on his bones.
You need to stop hunting and killing these animals for sport. Find a hobby that creates life not death!
Palmer said “I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt… I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion” That's BS. He knew exactly what he was doing. It's not even the first time he's hunted illegally. He was caught illegally killing a black bear in Canada awhile back on protected lands.
Umm.... Not that I approve any of these actions, but, what it's called "big animals hunting" is been going on for years in Africa... And no one is bothered, now I understand this Lion was famous but what about "all" the others ?
I hope that he gets prosecuted to the fullest extent for doing such a horrible and heartless act! At one time man needed to hunt to survive but now there is no need for this type of "sport" unless these brave scum agree to do it on a fair playing field and let the animals hunt them. Breaks my heart what happen to this beautiful animal who was protected.
This breaks my heart that this beautiful animal who under protection was so cruelly and illegally coaxed out and then slaughtered because this heartless human felt a need to try and prove that he was the "great hunter". Shame on you and I hope you are prosecuted for killing Cecil. RIP Cecil.
He is the consummate scum! Tonette Palmer, how can you sleep with this cockroach? Anyway hon prepare for a different life. Go ahead and start divorcing him now it's inevitable you are better off without him. You should have kicked him to curb after he sexually harassed his staff!
Also, he should be stationed at the sanctuary to protect the cubs that will be killed in order to establish hierarchy. that's the LEAST he can do...
In this day and age, with most of our wildlife on the verge of extinction, all big game hunting should be illegal. This is not sport. It is so wrong on so many levels.. Jerks.
Look at all the outrage... sheesh. Americans shoot over 600 male lions in Africa every year under similar conditions, and no one says anything. This outrage is remarkably hypocritical. Grow the heck up, already - you have bigger issues than this.
I'm very sad reading this. People who hunt for pleasure must be mentally ill and dangerous. I wish that he is hunted and his last moment reflects how the lion (and other animals he hunted) felt.
HE IS NOT ONLY A KILLER & A LIAR BUT HE IS A COWARD. I WISH THE ZIMBABWEANS COULD CATCH & PUT HIM IN JAIL. THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE! HE WOULD SOON NEED A DENTIST!
If you don't eat it, you don't kill it. The only other justification is defense when attacked. Killing for no reason is wrong...no matter what the species.
Entitled, self-indulgent sociopath (which is redundant, I know) Poor Cecil hid from his murderers for 40 hours after being shot with an arrow, in intense pain and bewilderment. And yes, the social structure of his pride has been toppled, and other male lions will kill 24 of Cecil's cubs. Sickening.
This may seem extreme and unfair to some. I think, though, that it's incomprehensible that these jerks persist in posting grinning pictures of themselves hovering over the corpses of their victims. There was a time when this c**p was admired by many, but attitudes are changing, and I hope that people will think twice before they do this sort of thing. Perhaps, at the very least, they won't be so quick to bask in the glory of their loathsome accomplishments.
I don't understand the joy of killing such a magnificent animal or any animal. We are destroying the world. leaving less & less land for nature & endangering species. This is supposed to be an intelligent man. What is going on in his head? I hope people stop going to his clinic. He losers his business. Then he never be able to buy another arrow to kill anything else
Yeah, why would someone kill animals.. he shud be killing the Muslims instead....
"My pursuit of an activity that I practice responsibility"??? Illegal hunting, illegal fishing, poaching! What a peach! Totally misunderstood dentist!! This a*****e should be hunted down and wounded and then 40 hrs later killed! I sincerely hope that Zimbabwe extradites him and puts him in jail! Disgusting man!
Walter Palmer is a liar who got caught poaching a bear a few years ago in the U.S. He tried to lie and hide the fact that he was 30 miles outside the legal hunting area but was found guilty. He's no stranger to illegal hunts and has no problem with them until he's caught. Take away this mans practice and financially ruin him. It's harsh but it's illegal to hunt people so he's getting it better that Cecil...
The US government needs to arrest his happy a*s and ship him back there to stand trial and go to jail in a nice nasty prison for a good long time. Gee dude you won't have near the rights and certainly not the nice cushy cell and decent food you'd get in a US jail.
Disgraceful coward. I thought we humans had evolved past "thrill" killing.
I am glad his dental practice has been closed. This man will be haunted, and hopefully hunted, for the rest of his natural life if there is ANY justice in this crazy world!
I hope his business goes down the pan now, what a total twat he is. I can't even bare to look at him
Palmer is a bottom feeding liar! He claims he didn't know it was an illegal hunt... than why the hell did they have to lure the lion out of the protected area? Then they did not report it when the collar was discovered, he ran like a coward back to the US where he thought it would all blow over... he deserves to lose his practice and go to jail, because this is not his first time being caught hunting illegally. I would love to be protesting outside his home right now.

If this sicko finds such pleasure in killing things why not send him over to any war zone so he can get his jollies from killing for real....maybe if we are lucky he might catch a bullet too, him and the poachers involved...unfortunately it will never be stamped out as there always is someone out there with more money than the last and greedy low life's who benefit from such acts.

There are no words strong enough, hateful enough or obscene enough to express the dislike for this man and all those like him.
There are no words strong enough, hurtful enough, bad enough to express the sorrow for this beautiful animal and the dislike for this man and all of those like him.
I hope someone lures him into traffic and it takes 40 minutes for him to die as he's run over time after time.!
It takes a special kind of sicko to admit that this is an activity he "loves". I can't understand how ANYONE can "love" to watch the life drain out of a living creature. Hunting for food, as a necessity, is one thing (personally, I still couldn't do it, I don't have it in me), but to "love" killing something simply for the sake of killing it--as a TROPHY--while discarding the remains as nothing more than trash, is despicable! And it deeply saddens me! This weak excuse for a human being wounds the poor creature, hunts it down for forty hours, than finishes the job--without giving it a second thought. And the ONLY reason why he's apologizing is because he didn't realize it was a "celebrity"!?! Otherwise... what? He'd be proud of himself for catching and killing a lion? All I know is, shame on him! He deserves every bit of unpleasantness that has been heading his way!
The f*****g a*****e like killing defendles animals .Big hunter..wat a sick ego.
Legal shmegal. You ended the life of a majestic animal so you could have his head on your wall. It's just so very unbelievable and reprehensible. The lion walked, and breathed and took care of a family. Legal or not it's just so wrong so don't even try to defend yourself because you thought you were following the rules.
Other reports said he's done this before. To an rndangered black bear. He was told to pay a fine and got probation. What a load of crock. If everything could be solved with an apology, we wouldn't need jails! Can't the authorities take the cubs and sell them to other zoos?
I see no justification for this kind of "sport". He should go "mano a mano" with his targets if he wants to be sporting.
He lives here in my city. HIs office is closed for now but will certainly reopen once things cool down which they certainly will because people forget and move onto other things to be outraged about. I am appalled and horrified that he did this but if we are all truly angry enough, then let's do something to make his death not in vain. Support legislation that makes it a criminal act to import exotic and protected animal parts into this country and make it illegal to shoot protected animals here. We are the second largest purchaser of illegal animal parts int he world and we are the number one country for big game hunting. Let's do something about this folks because if we don't there will be another Cecil, as well as countless other animals, killed in the name of sport and to quell our desire for exotic things.
Any mention that killer #walterpalmer almos serverd jail time in 2008 because the ilegal killing of a black bear in 2006?... (And, saddly that stupid #walterpalmer kills a white rhinoceros too. And who knows how many other animals!)
Any mention of that he almost served jail time in 2008 because the ILEGAL killing of a black bear in 2006?... Hope this time he can't escape.
"deeply regret" my a*s. He paid people to LURE an almost-tame lion OUT of a protected area, so he could exercise his psychopathy in a "legal" manner. This stupid guy should be banned from entering ANY country where wild animals are hunted. There is NO place for this kind of behavior in our world anymore. I hope he loses his clinic and practice. Maybe then he'll REALLY regret spending 55 thousand dollars on such an obscenity.
He's not sorry he killed the lion; he's sorry he's now the most hated man in the world. Every anniversary of Cecil's death should bring this man back to the public eye. Not JUST for Cecil but for all of the other innocent rare & beautiful animals he has unfairly lured out to shoot & kill AS A HOBBY! Coward. COWARD! "May you never be able to reopen your practice"...my Irish curse to you, mr. palmer.
Cecil was followed 40 hours till he died, Palmer should be followed 40 years until he dies, suffering.
Thanks to POTUS this I believe will end, keep off our wild life! It is sad that governments protect you! Waiting for law to take effect! No poaching, no snayers! I can enjoy my homeland!
He's not sorry for killing the lion; he kills as a HOBBY! He's sorry that he's now infamous, period. Let's just hope he's not the most hated man of the HOUR! May he NEVER be able to re-open his practice. Every year on July 1, we should remind the world what this prick did. Not just for Cecil; but, for the other unsuspecting species that he lured out unfairly and slaughtered.
I hope he got pleasure out of it - cause it's the last pleasure he'll ever get
*ull*hit. if you think you are so in the right why did you flee? Are your parents proud of your actions? Your neighbors? Your Staff? Rot in Hell.
I don't care whose fault it is. We should not kill animals for sport.
This evil pathetic excuse of a man should be severely punished....how can he take pride in this most abhorent act. I hope the decent citizens, of which there are many, of the USA completely boycott his dental practice and force him to close so he can't ever again afford to murder any more innocent animals. I hope this cowardly vile individual gets dealt a massive blow of karma in the very near future.
I have a loss for words on this!! It just makes me sick to my stomach, and I hope he pays dearly for this.who knows how many other innocent animals he's killed for his sick, dimented mind!!!!!
A weak, pathetic man whom feels power in killing defenceless animals by convincing himself he's hunting the environments ultimate predator!! TWAT!!! Even the odds a little - stick Dr Wimpy in the bush with a couple of special forces guys: watch the hunter become the hunted.
why he didn't try to kill him with his own hands?!? wanna take his teeth !!
His behavior is reprehensible and he should be prosecuted. The hunting company should be ordered to return the fee and have it used toward lion conservation. I can think of worse outcomes for the dentist, but best not to put in writing.
GOOD THIS LOSER SHOULD BE HUNTED AND KILLED JUST LIKE THIS INNOCENT ANIMAL. So heartless and cruel! :(
I hope pieces of s...it like this guy would die in the same way he killed the wonderful creatures this imbecile killed! I've seen yesterday his blog!!!! Hes's f...ked up!
What the hell is wrong with people? I feel even killing an animal for food if you live in a civilized society with plenty of food around is barbaric. How sad. Dentists are known to just be frickin' WEIRD!!
We should kill him ! After all humans are not under protection, especially this one !
IF THIS A*****E IS NOT PUT IN JAIL, FINED AND HOPEFULLY KILLED, THERE IS NO JUSTICE! ANIMAL LIVES MATTER.
my deepest wish is that this rotten person should die a very slow maximum painful and cruel death with cancer in all his body parts, crying for release of all that suffering and the only cure would be to hunt him down with sharp hot arrows in a endless battue! All I can feel is deep HATE and I just hope that fate will come over him at give him what he deserves! Such rotten person must be eliminated from planet earth, they infect everything with their FUN about killing animals just for pleasure! I am so upset!!! I could cry !!!!!!
i sincerely hope this ruins his business and in turn his life. what a horrible excuse for a human being.
He wounded Cecil first to make the hunt happen- Otherwise Cecil was too tame and would just go back to his pride. Wounded Cecil would run away from his pride to protect them and lure the killers away. This freak Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Palmer said he first hunted when he was 5 years old. That was when he lost his soul and became a psychopath. Which he is. Palmer was very into this and he has killed many big game animals over 70 as I recall. He had to know who Cecil was, how famous he was, and PALMER specifically WANTED Cecil as a trophy. He had to know. Anything else Palmer says in a LIE ,, in my opinion. He's been doing this for years and years. He knew who Cecil was.
the american dentist must be killed and in the hell in the fire die die die tener que ser en infierno en el fuego para siempre
Kurwa nie człowiek. Jak każdy zjeb zabijający istoty żywe dla rozrywki
Liberals in America and abroad are horrified at the hunting death of Cecil the Lion in South Africa by American dentist Dr. Walter J. Palmer. Social media has lit up in outrage over someone who would dare kill the beloved lion for sport. In the headlines today, Palmer is being lambasted as a “coward and a killer” and is receiving multiple death threats. PETA has said on it’s Twitter account that Palmer should “hang himself” for what he did. Wow, truly a hardcore reaction. But evidently, killing human babies is ok. Since midnight last night, 1,470 abortions were performed in America with 53, 983 performed worldwide. From the time that I started to type just this very sentence, 30 abortions have been completed with the blood still flowing from their mothers wombs. 30 dead babies in the time it took to write that one sentence! Yet, there is no liberal outrage, no calls for abortion doctors to “hang themselves”, no lit candles and stuffed animal memorials set up anywhere by liberals.
Pls just let this be about Cecil..He deserves that.
Load More Replies...I hate the penalty of death but this a*s... but well.. .for this a*s I could make an exception! I'm to far away from him. But people who see him should just spit in his face. He is trash. His f*****g statement proofs it. He understood nothing. Why are people like that alive? They should all shoot each other and let other people an animals live there happy lifes.
I've created a petition to create laws for protecting big game from being hunted for sport. It would be lovely if you would sign. https://www.change.org/p/president-of-the-united-states-justice-for-cecil-the-lion
that post right above me has a petition that asks for money...what a scam..pls dont sign it
Load More Replies...He's been caught before saying the exact same thing. I hope someone take the arbage out.
If he Loves hunting just for Fun. Then He Needs to quit Hunting! This shows he has made way too much Money in that town fixing peoples Teeth! He should have donated the Money to charity. Guess he wanted to feel Like a Big Man for 1 day.
I don't give a flying rats bum if it's legal, Illegal, responsible or not. Killing for sport is repugnant.
His apology is not accepted, he needs to pay a HUGE fine to the park, NEVER ever hunt innocent animals again, and jail time would be nice finish. Oh, and close down his practice so he won't be able to earn enough money to kill innocent creatures.
What a pompous a*****e. Smiling like a douche bag for killing a protected animal. What if someone did that to him? Humans are protected under law. Does that mean you can pay someone money to hunt one? No, fking idiot. I hope youre never able to open any type of practice again, you lose your house and Assets From going bankrupt. You dont deserve a good life after killing a protected creature. If you had any brains you wouldnt kill something people would uproar about and cause you so much problems. But you dont have much of a brain do you. No. Why dont you go into a cage with a lion and see who wins. You are nothing but scum with a weapon.
His business needs to be shut down forever, pay money to the park where the lion was at, pay a HUGE fine, and never, never hunt again - ever. Oh, yes, and jail time!!!
So.... Dentist hunt? Anybody? I've got the weapons and the ammo, someone else want to bring the beer?
Yeah what a big man, "responsibly"maiming a beautiful animal, letting him suffer, then mutilating him. You are a monster and you will rot in hell for killing this beautiful creature of Good. You deserve the same fate.
Put this guy and all the others like him in a field, with no weapons. Then let them be hunted. For sport.

US dentist Palmer and Bronkhorst shot Cecil with a bow at night and then let him suffer for another 24-48 long hours. When they finally found him, they had no intention of helping him but only wanted to cold bloodily shoot him dead with a bullet - the questions is......how did they not see that he was wearing a special collar?

People who love to do tis are also doing it easily with humans. Killing is in their sick minds an they are dangerous.and ought to be locked up. But BOYCOT his clinic and bring him down in the gutter. You do not want to be treated by a murderer.?
how would he feel if he were shot skinned and beheaded , what goes around comes around he better watch his back he deserves to lose everything.
"Local professional guides"? I think he made a huge mistake. For 55,000 a " local " might just kill an endangered white rhino much less a beloved lion. My gosh.
I don't think he shoulder all the blame, obviously the guide knew it wasn't legal, burn him also.
To kill such a magnificent being is criminal! This"man" must have a small penis and an even smaller heart. Oh, and no soul!!!
As if his pathetic statement is any kind of excuse. "my pursuit of an activity I love"....sure wouldn't let that toerag anywhere near me, my wife or kids. Sick bastard that loves killing. Why don't you just f**k off and die.
He should be send to Africa safari without gun and knifes alone ,let him feel what is real hunt feels like !
here in the Philippines, we wont let you just close down ur clinic. u s**t
He has a platce in Florida. His address is in these postings. His clinic is in Mn which I believe he has a home at also. Someone get him.

Fat a*****e healing his inferiority complex on animals. Same goes to his friend. Two losers!!!
Lions as a animal type are too rare. As always it takes a celebrity death for people to notice Jack A$$ lkke him.
!!!......The only way he could actually be forgiven is if he would donate or start a wildlife protection program and dedicate half or most of his life and money in that, instead of paying to kill . That's only a fair deal. And his apology would then actually look honest.
He really believes that killing an animal declared by the world as endangered is legal in any country. What a fool.
Why don't we hunt down his kids and say it was done responsibly? How can killing an innocent be a "fun activity" or "done responsibly"? I hope Zimbabwean authorities can have him extradited and tried for this crime, but probably US government will just shrug and let it be.
I'm more worried about the cubs. Can't they go take them somewhere safe? I know it isn't that easy but supposed you have a meerkat and warthog to take care of those poor cubs? :/ okay i was kidding about the meerkat and warthog. But please let the cubs be safe.
so, it was ok and legal to slaughter animals for years until you hit a celebrity... this drives me mad.
I hope someone shoots the bastard so that he spends his last hours in agony. Sick m**********r
There's really just no honorable way to spin this. the African Lion is an endangered species; there is literally no legal way to kill one for pleasure. So basically either he has no idea how endangered species work, or what he meant to say was "I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure an illegal hunt in which I'd escape the legal consequences. " Let's also not forget that the lion was probably accustomed to seeing the worker who lured him on a regular basis, and depending on the roll the worker played, may have trusted him a fair deal and probably didn't expect any danger. Having the animal led directly to you by someone they are accustomed to seeing on a regular basis and would expect no harm from isn't even really a hunt. This is disgusting.
correction: several large groups in charge of this sort of ruling have been trying to get them added to the Endangered Species list, and they have all the qualifications, but they keep getting nixed for some reason. This is even more disturbing, to be honest.
Load More Replies...Will anything be done to protect the lives of the cubs, or will Nature simply be allowed to take its course?
You want to make this mess even greater by making special arrangements for the cubs? Respect for nature means no interference!
Load More Replies...that man is completely heartless! this isn't exactly what i wanted to see this morning but, it just proves even more that some people truly suck! RIP Cecil... And I completely agree with you Agata Jabłońska!
Hunting at night, skinning and leaving the lion's carcass to rot, trying to disable the tracking collar, all point to shady dealings. The man is no better than a poacher out chopping the horns off rhinos. What a sick man. I hope justice finds him.
Sadness in my heart this made me cry. I can't believe these animals aren't protect enough. They need security gaurds, it's so so sad. We as humans need to fight harder for the rights and justice for these animals, this is completely unacceptable. Humanity is failing so much.

This is another most heartbreaking news.. How can a person find peace after murdering other living companion? Shameful... I hope you die the same way.. May you get hunted down by some animal and may your soul never find peace.
Let his passion kill his practice! And his source of income - May his crime never be forgotten - that will ensure he never hunt ever again !
Well if killing animals like this is his thing, I think "... pursuit of an activity I love and practice ..." would be much more fun for him if the tides were turned on him. A manhunt is clearly in order, he needs the adrenaline rush of the hunted.
I think a man hunt is in order here. Dr. Walter James Palmer of Bloomington, Minnesota needs to find out what a fun game it is, from the other side of the fence. "... pursuit of an activity I love and practice ..." - needs the tides turned.
This is not something you do for a sport you sick people !!!! Go to f*****g hell, here let me hunt you and call it a sport Mkay and say it's legal. These animals will become extinct if you people smarten the f**k up and grow a pair, find something else that entertains you other then murdering and killing something so innocent, honestly this guy should be sentenced to prison and his weapons liscense should be taken away forever. Sure deer and moose are to be hunted but a f*****g lion ??? Really get out of that country where you don't f*****g belong k you sick f***s Canada doesn't want you anymore !!!!!!!!!!
Or the U.S. !!!! Get out of this world before someone finds you lol

How can there ever be a legal way to hunt a lion in the first place? I can't bear to think of those cubs now... utterly heartbreaking.
Someone should shoot him with an arrow... then make him run around for 40 hours in pain before killing him... then he'd get his just desserts.
Every trophy hunt should be illegal! It's a good thing he had to shut down his practice: in a way his patients have paid for his.......terrible thought......

It`s a shame to kill for pleasure! Hunters are coward killers! Hunters should be punished as criminals!
I'd be very surprised if this was his first "illegal" kill. Authorities should be looking at all his trophies.
Bad enough to take the life of any lion. Not knowing it was Cecil is no excuse.
I don't think he is the only one to blame. If the park guides accepted the money anf loored him in to hunt down the lion they should be punished as well. And since they are zimbabuans the authorities should find this very easy to do...
At least two people were already arrested that were involved. They were locals but the actual killer was the dentist that shot the lion with his crossbow, which didn't kill him. Only forty hours later did they track him down and shoot him.

Yeah, f**k humans. Especially your kind of humans, you little f*****g trash. A person with your view is obviously wasted life. Please end it. I'm not a hippie, but even I can see how utterly flawed and idiotic your standpoint is.
Load More Replies...The Bible says an eye for an eye and a life for a life. Not only did this idiot kill the lion but he paid money for this to happen and lured him out of his safe place. For what? Was he hungry and McDonalds was closed? Did he need clothes to keep warm and the men's clothing stores didn't have his size? NO!!! He should either be locked up for life with no chance of parole or have his brain removed (if he has one)
Meanwhile the Democrats have slaughtered 77 million babies here in the USA and nobody raises an eyebrow.....
Really?? With their bare hands? How did they do that? And don't say abortion because that is ridiculous. First off get an education. Abortions kill zygotes not babies unless it is to save the life of the mother. All kinds of women have abortions. Not just democrats and personally, it isn't any of your business if someone else has an abortion. If you don't believe in them then don't have one, but don't tell other people what to do. By the way, since you want all these kids born, how many children have you taken in? Fostered? Adopted? I thought not! You want them born but not fed, clothed, educated or loved. You want them born no matter how horribly sickly they may be. Your not footing the bill so shut the hell up! I chose to have my son at 16 when given a choice, but it was my choice and I will fight for that same choice for others. Also we are not talking about that here. We are discussing animals, who are, in most cases better than humans. This is not a political discussion.

So many are too fast to pass judgement. It was the decision of the local officials and or the safari owners to lure the lion out of the refuge. No one is blaming them at all. Where is the outrage toward those greedy people? Have at it you idiots. I hope if I am ever charged with something you aren't in the jury.
Please tell me you're kidding, you little piece of trash? Can you NOT read, or what's your problem? There was no f*****g "local officials" or "safari owners" involved you moron. There was a LONE guide who accepted a huge amount of cash and a LONE farmer who accepted money for allowing them to hunt on his lands, where they lured Cecil to. "So many are too fast to pass judgement"? You, but maybe you should start judging the right people first you little icky s**t.

Try to replace the word "lion" with the word "man". It sounds like the words of a psychopath. We are animals too, and no animal deserves to be killed with no reason.
