I am not sure Zimbabwe has an extradition treaty with the USA.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33699346
15 years in a Zimbabwean jail is a decent starting point for some payback

I suppose it has highlighted the issue. Anyone dumb enough to have had a smiley photo taken next to an animal carcass is now going to be shamed and harassed by the looks of it. Hopefully killing animals purely for fun will soon be seen as unacceptable as going abroad to do some noncing.
Speaking of perspective .....Hopefully killing animals purely for fun will soon be seen as unacceptable as going abroad to do some noncing.
it'll learn them not to do it againI think a bit of perspective is in order here though.
15 years in chokey is well harsh given that:
a) they didn't kill it, and
b) in many cases you wouldn't do 15 years for killing a human here
it'll learn them not to do it again
my professional medical career was thrown in the latrine many years ago and if the pms i get are to be believed i am an intergalactick pariahI reckon having your professional medical career flushed down the khazi and being made an international pariah probably has much the same effect.
Zimbabwean police have taken custody of Cecil the lion's head, in a bid to diffuse the anger surrounding Walter Palmer's hunting trophy

I have to admit to feeling that this is all getting a bit out of hand.
It seems to me that some people really do care more for animals than humans, which is fucked up in the extreme.
Think of all the situations where mistreatment of humans hasn't caused this kind of reaction.
there are rather more humans than there are lions. if there were millions and millions of lions this reaction probably wouldn't be happening.I have to admit to feeling that this is all getting a bit out of hand.

Perhaps because there is no alternative narrative that can make people feel better about their lack of empathy in the case of Cecil.It seems to me that some people really do care more for animals than humans, which is fucked up in the extreme.
Indeed, so many Christians, so few Lions!there are rather more humans than there are lions. if there were millions and millions of lions this reaction probably wouldn't be happening.
Argh..Hmmph..
Chris Coltrane @chris_coltrane 1 hr1 hour ago Yep, it's pretty much the worst when the ultra-rich spend their grotesque wealth on murdering wild animals.

The White House has said it will review a petition urging the Obama administration to send the US hunter who killed Cecil the lion to Zimbabwe to face justice.
More than 140,000 signatures have been gathered for the bid to send Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer to the African country.
It urges Secretary of State John Kerry and Attorney General Loretta Lynch to extradite the trophy hunter.
Any petition to the White House that attracts over 100,000 names within 30 days must receive an official response.

Yup.
