Cecil Update: Dentist surfaces

[ Edited ]

And he has been in contact with authorities.

 

Edited to remove link, due to photo. Here is the rest of the story (minus any photos)

 

Dr. Walter Palmer -- the dentist who gunned down Cecil the Lion -- has resurfaced and contacted authorities after days of hiding ... TMZ has learned. 

Officials for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tell us a rep for Dr. Palmer contacted them late Thursday.

We're told Dr. Palmer is cooperating with the investigation into Cecil's death, which focuses on an international law governing hunters who move their trophies from one country to another. 

Fish and Wildlife have been looking to speak with Dr. Palmer as it conducts its investigation into the killing of Cecil. The U.S. Dept. of Justice is also investigating. 

Zimbabwe officials have already said they want to extradite the dentist to face criminal charges in their country.

Be aware that the story begins with a large photo of this guy holding up a dead leopard that is just dangling in his arms.

Thank you for pointing that out to me, I really try not to notice any of the photos on these articles and didn't notice it was there. I removed the link. Posters can Google it for more info.

Hi @KingstonsMom

Thanks!  I didn't want to get your post poofed by someone who would claim they were offended because they weren't "warned."

With all due respect, seeing a photo and reading a graphic description are both offensive to some posters.  The OP purposely left off the link to avoid offending others who are reading.

Unfortunately, he's not the only big game hunter who is willing to pay thousands of dollars to kill defenseless animals for sport.  Cecil was just one of many.  Hopefully Cecil didn't die in vain and finding a way to stop this ridiculous "sport" will gain momentum.

Apparently, just about ANYthing "can be offensive to some posters."
