    Marco Island police Capt. David Baer says the vandals also left at least seven pickled pigs’ feet on the driveway of Walter Palmer’s $1.1 million home. Baer says police have opened an investigation.

    A hand-made sign criticizing Palmer was left in the yard last week. A security company has been hired to protect the property.

    Officials in Zimbabwe have said they’ll seek the extradition of Palmer, alleging he lacked authorization to kill Cecil last month. Palmer has said he relied on professional guides to ensure his hunting was legal.

    I think i see a double stranded. Why don’t people do this at all of the planned parent hood locations where they chop up little kids. why do people even care about a feral cat in Africa.

    If only there were such an uproar for every instance in which a human being was murdered or maimed. If only there were such concern and compassion exhibited for the hungry and homeless.

    I guess the point is: Lion lives matter.

    Thank you Jimmy

    I know and very well aware of all the details of this story, I am not ignoring any of it,, starting from the fact that this Lion was a favorite there etc. but you know, we americans make an issue over things that are exciting, and jump on bandwagons for the thrill,

    there are so many more important things to address and discuss then this,

    what a bunch of nonsense being spread by peta!!

    these peta people animals don”t value human beings lives at all,and only promote their agenda,animal rights.

    they should be stood up against and not be allowed to get away with their shenanigans.

    they are the ones who are trying to stop kosher shechitah in the usa,and use their money to campaign to get all kosher slaughter houses to be closed down on trumped up accusations!!

    So do the right thing and kill every lion tiger, leopard, cheetah , and every tree, lest it fall and hurt someone.
