Justice for Cecil

I hope that all of you who share my anger and disgust at the killing of the magnificent lion, Cecil, will sign this petition. Social shaming seems to be the only way to make this man, Walter James Palmer, pay a price for what he did. Not only did he kill an animal in danger of extinction after luring him from the safety of a game preserve, it is likely that by killing Cecil, he also doomed the young cubs in Cecil’s pride. A fine would not deter someone who’d pay over $50,000 to be able to murder a lion. He already has a felony conviction for illegally killing a black bear. He clearly did not care about Cecil’s suffering in the 40 hours between his wounding and his death. He does not seem to like being made an object of scorn, though, judging by his attempts to place all of the blame on the guides. There is really little we can do, except to speak up and say that this is wrong, this is unacceptable, and we have nothing but contempt for Walter James Palmer and those who see “big-game hunting” as a sport.
