Rest in Peace, Cecil: Minnesota Dentist Kills Beloved Zimbabwean Lion

(not trying to be funny, but...)
Such a shame that the King of the Jungle was taken down by, of all things, a dentist.

Last night, the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force revealed in a statement that Walter James Palmer of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a well-documented world-travelling hunter, went to Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and shot and killed Cecil the Lion, a beloved star attraction at the Park. He recruited two local hunters to help with the act, by hunting the Lion for 40 hours, poaching the loved animal and taking its life. The hunters then shaved off its fur and mane and beheaded him.
The price to pay for this entire heinous attack: $55,000, given by Palmer to the hunters.

The hunters later went in court in Zimbabwe on Wednesday morning to face charges of the poaching and killing. Their next court appearance is on August 5.

I've never heard of such a disgusting, heinous and vile action like this before...but...here it is. One American going to an African country to kill what he didn't notice was a national treasure. This fucker did this, and feels like he's on top of the world.

He said in a written statement, "I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt."
BULLSHIT. If you have done research on this killing, you would've done the smart thing by cancelling the hunt and went somewhere else. If I were you, I would've let them keep the money, and take back my weapons, and go back home. I wouldn't care if they had done this on their own, and get themselves sent to jail and possibly killed.

I want to talk directly to Palmer for this:
Why did you do this? And what possessed your mind to make you think this was necessary, let alone would happen?
What do you think you would gain from this? What have you thought you have taken away from this? Why did you think that taking out a lion would make you life feel much better?

Because to the entire country of Zimbabwe, Cecil was a beloved figure to everyone, even his family. Now everyone will be heartbroken all across Africa because of this loss. Oh yeah...and his pride will not have a father anymore!! You killed the father of lion cubs, who will now live the rest of their lives without their father to take care of them and guide them through their lives. And they will now live in fear of his rival, who will hunt them for the rest of their lives. All because of you.

And you "deeply regret it"?!? FUCK. YOU. I bet you deeply regretted it the moment you bought the gun, the minute you went down to Hwange National, or the second you pulled the trigger, huh? I bet you felt a little guilty when you did any of those few things. No. Of course you didn't. You feel guilty now because you got caught. And you deserve it. Especially after taking out a lion that meant so much to the country of Africa and his pride.
You are a sick, twisted, horrible man.

To the Zimbabwean hunters who helped him with this disgusting
What did Cecil do to you? Why did his existence felt like the worst thing to you two? Why did you think that taking out a lion would make you lives feel much better?

I have no sympathy for any of you, and I'm relieved that the rest of the world feels the same way, too.
All of you are insane! You all need to be thrown into jail and an asylum for for a long time, because what you done was just disgusting. Fuck all of you.

I've never heard of Cecil in my life, but now, I feel saddened and heartbroken after his death. He did not deserved this death at the hands of random evil. I feel very sorry for the beloved lion's family and all of his homeland for this senseless ending to his life.

Rest in Peace, Cecil.
