Cecil, a beloved Zimbabwe lion, was illegally lured out of a national park and killed earlier this summer by foreign tourists who allegedly paid $55,000 for the trophy.

The 13-year-old lion was a tourist favourite and the circumstances of his death were particularly horrifying according to the head of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, Johnny Rodrigues, Cecil “was lured out of a national park with food, shot with a crossbow, tracked for 40 more hours, then finished off with a gun.”

According to the Star Telegraph, Walter Palmer was the culprit. A Minnesoaa-based dentist and trophy hunter. 

Walter is now in hot water on social media, with his Yelp account (a business finder and review site in America) getting a huge amount of negative reviews and even Ricky Gervais tweeted about this disgusting act.

Within an hour of the Telegraph’s report, death threats appeared on Twitter and a Facebook page was made called "Shame Lion Killer Dr. Walter Palmer and River Bluff Dental"

Walter Palmer's name trended worldwide on Twitter, and many of the posts on Facebook are calling for him to be held accountable and imprisoned. 

 

Here is the tweet from Ricky Gervais:

 

And some of the Yelp reviews:

— "Hope your little trophy was worth it, guy. The entire world has ostracized you. But hey at least you bagged that big bad lion who had absolutely no intention of harming you. You're a disgrace to humanity and a detriment to our species as a whole."

— "Beware! This dentist might end up killing you in the process of whatever dental treatment you seek."

— "If you seek out a sociopath in a dentist - this is your guy."

— "If you visit this dentist for services, you are funding his sprees of killing innocent, magnificent African animals that should be protected."

— "DO not fund this sadistic man and his 'hobby.'"

— "I don't know about this person's capacity as a dentist. But in his capacity as a human being, he's failed."

— "Anyone who is a patient of Dr "Killer" Palmer is complicit and an accessory to murder of Cecil the Lion and the hundreds of other animals he has killed and/or poached illegally."
