July 6-- after the death of Cecil, Africa's most beloved lion, the world was in grief and later in a rampant outrage when they found out that the lion was hunted by an American Dentist, who was said to have lured him out of the reserve and shot him with a bow and arrow. After confirming that it was Palmer who killed the cat, the dentist is now facing legal charges for illegally killing the animal.
Along with his charges are thousands of hate mails and death threats forcing him to close down his clinic as local and celebrity supporters paved their way in protest. As per People, One celebrity supporter then made the headlines when she took her rage to twitter, she then drew the line after posting Palmer's address which she later on deleted. Her twitter account was suspended right after the address was posted, with twitter stating that the actreess did a violation.
She then posted:
"Animals are not trophies.Ever. #CecilTheLion -@MiaFarrow
In support of what happened to Cecil, another celebrity made the headlines for his statement regarding the hunter. As per Toronto Sun, Sir Roger Moore, an English actor known for his role at James Bond did his share in expressing his dismay regarding what happened to the famous lion. He then wrote his sentiments stating that "Hunting is a coward's past time", in lieu of his support for PETA, he wrote that Palmer be "extradited, charged and preferable, hanged." He then wrote "not literally hanged, meaning that he would twist in the wind, but that he should face criminal charges. I stand firmly behind her. After all, this isn't Palmer's first time killing exotic animals, and it's not even the first time he has illegally hunted down animals. (he apperantly violated American state laws when he killed a black bear in 2006 and lied to authorities about it.) Clearly he's gunning his way through the animal kingdom, who among us feels that we live in a civilised society while he's on the loose? He must be stopped and brought to justice."
