Hopefully he is brought to justice but extraditing someone from America is difficult so chances are he won't be punished for it. I do hope the hunters that can and will face charges will be punished severely.

The lion was said to be 'collared' does that actually mean he was wearing a collar or it was microchipped?

[Tom4784]

Wearing a collar, I think I remember reading that the hunters tried to destroy it to cover their tracks.

He was wearing a collar with a GPS tracker on it. They tried to destroy it and failed.

Yes Criminal & Evil

[Kizzy]

Right, then they knew before they decapitated him that he wasn't 'fair game'.
They all deserve punishment then, his suggesting that he was unaware of the origin of the lion is an out and out lie.

The GPS collar was part of an Oxford University research project. What upsets me even more is that there is already an existing photograph of him next to the corpse of another lion. How many damn lions do you need to decorate your house, and what kind of message does it send to your children?

Disgusting animal.

If the punishment were to fit the crime, he would have a tracker on him and then be hunted by others.

It's a cheetah. Probably killed by that dentist and stuffed... H... Hehe...

No in all seriousness, apparently cheetahs are quite easy to tame compared to other big cats. If they're domesticated from birth they're just like big versions of regular cats. But smarter. Regular cats are ****ing stupid.

[kirklancaster]

I have always found 'Trophies' consisting of stuffed animals or wall mounted animal heads macabre and gruesome, and have always wondered just why anyone would want to kill living creatures and display them with such perverted pride.

The evil cretins who believe that it is heroic to slaughter outnumbered wildlife from a safe distance with sophisticated rifles, are as delusional as the evil terrorist bastards who believe they are pleasing 'God' by blowing up unsuspecting victims and/or beheading cowered, bound and outnumbered innocent civilians - and just as cowardly.

These 'hunters' are demented and sick, as are those who see no wrong in it - in my opinion.

they are no more sick than any person who eats hamburgers or sausages and fuels the slaughter of millions of cows and pigs.

he's no more evil than a starving african who kills a goat to feed his family.

killing is killing is killing.

..I don't know if this is true because it hasn't been confirmed/well actually been denied in fact but I'll post anyway...


The brother of Cecil the lion, Jericho, has been shot dead by poachers, the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force has said.

The organisation wrote on Facebook: "It is with huge disgust and sadness that we have just been informed that Jericho, Cecil's brother, has been killed at 4pm today.

"We are absolutely heartbroken."

However, a researcher monitoring the pride has disputed the claim.

"He looks alive and well to me as far as I can tell," said Brent Stapelkamp, field researcher for the Hwange Lion Research Project which is monitoring the lion with a GPS tag.

It is thought Jericho had been protecting Cecil's cubs.

The murder of 13-year-old Cecil by US dentist Walter Palmer on 1 July caused outrage when it was made public earlier this week.

Mr Palmer allegedly paid park guides $50,000 (£32,000) to kill the lion, who was a hugely popular attraction at the Hwange National Park.

More than 140,000 signatures have been gathered for a bid to send the Minnesota dentist to Zimbabwe to face justice.

The White House has said it will review the petition .

Zimbabwean authorities claim they are seeking extradition.

The county has now suspended the hunting of lions, leopards and elephants in the area while it investigates the killing of another lion in July.

A man from a private game park has been arrested over this case, officials said.

I've seen that too Ammi ,it's also worse as Jericho had taken over Cecils cubs hence saving them from death by another high ranking male,so now if this is true,the cubs are again in real danger,I give up with some people ,they will never think that animals are just as entitalled to life as we are.

[user104658]

The only solution now is for the cubs to go and live in the jungle with a boar and a meerkat for a few years, until they are old enough to protect themselves when they return to the pride.
