Cecil the lion – the most famous creature in one of
Zimbabwe's national parks, was killed by an American hunter who has boasted
about shooting a menagerie of animals with his bow and arrow, The Telegraph can
reveal.
Walter James Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota, is believed
to have paid £36,000 to shoot and kill the much-loved lion with a bow and arrow.
The animal was shot on July 1 in Hwange National Park. Two independent sources
have confirmed the hunter's identity to the paper, which has also seen a copy
of the relevant hunting permit.
