The Buzz | 2nd American involved in illegal lion hunt

A second American killed a lion in an illegal hunt with a bow and arrow in Zimbabwe several months ago, amid an international outcry over a U.S. hunter accused of illegally killing a well-known lion named Cecil in early July, authorities said yesterday. The second American was involved in an illegal hunt of a lion in April around Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park. A Zimbabwean landowner named Headman Sibanda was arrested in the case and is assisting police with their investigation, the authority said. Zimbabwean authorities earlier said they are seeking the extradition of Minnesota dentist Walter James Palmer, alleging he did not have authorization to kill the lion named Cecil a month ago.
