When a controversial animal rights activist outed Dr. Walter Palmer as the hunter who killed Cecil the lion last month, the Minnesota dentist became arguably one of the most hated people in the world almost overnight.
Soon after Cecil’s killer was made public, protesters showed up at Palmer’s dental office in Bloomington, Minnesota, waving signs that said things like “lion killer” and “justice for Cecil.” They started building a shrine of stuffed lions at his office front door.
And last week, vigilantes vandalized his Marco Island, Florida, vacation home, covering his driveway with bloodied pigs’ feet.
Palmer was the target of countless hateful and threatening Internet posts.
Since then, the highly skilled bow hunter has remained out of the public eye.
Rebecca Francis, a big-game hunter and bow-hunting expert from Wyoming, knows exactly how Palmer probably feels.
Five years ago, Francis went to Africa and posed for a photo lying next to an adult dead giraffe she had just killed. She posted the photo on her personal website. In April of this year, comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted out her photo with the words, “What must’ve happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal and then lie next to it smiling?”

This lion’s statement just shows how much smarter they are than us.
True statement!
Ugly psycho bitch.
Yeah, we know how great hunters are and the debt of gratitude they deserve. Yada, yada, yada.
And so, Mr. Nzou, you don’t cry for lions in Zimbabwe. I have agree that you have bigger problems than the few lions you have left in your country, such as corrupt political leaders and families like yours with 10 children. Now that is something to cry about.
