Towards the end of June 2015, along the borders of the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, a lion named Cecil was hit by an arrow shot by Dr Walter Palmer, a rich US dentist and a habitual wild-game hunter. Not satisfied merely by injuring the lion, the dentist tracked it incessantly for almost the next 40 h, and on 1 July 2015, he shot it down with his rifle.

Abstract


Towards the end of June 2015, along the borders of the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, a lion named Cecil was hit by an arrow shot by Dr Walter Palmer, a rich US dentist and a habitual wild-game hunter. Not satisfied merely by injuring the lion, the dentist tracked it incessantly for almost the next 40 h, and on 1 July 2015, he shot it down with his rifle.
