What ? There is no "case".
Palmer has not even been charged so why should he be extradited ?
US law has no standing in Zimbabwe.
"Zimbabwe has called for the United States to extradite the Minnesota dentist who beheaded a beloved lion. US officials are investigating whether Walter Palmer violated national law by killing Cecil."
Honest, the farmer, has not been charged yet. Honest has "close ties" to the local government.
4 collared lions have been killed on Honest's farm since January.
And all of a sudden none have permits.
I'm sure Zimbabwe would love for all these rich hunters to go back here and face the judge, pay their "fines" and then be allowed to go home.

Well my friend, Zimbabwe had to charge him with a crime first which they didn't.
And US authorities don't investigate allegations of breaking laws in other countries.
I wonder, since this story broke, his many elephants, rhinos, lions, and all sorts of other critters, have been killed by real poachers, and we haven't heard about any of it. ?

So after reading that doozie ..what if...
The professional hunter and the farmer have done this before...4 times before and kept the money paid between them both ?
Palmer insists he paid for a legal hunt. And these safari companies do say they get the permits.
What if Theo and Honest had a racket going ?
4 collared lions killed on Theo's farm this year so far. Wouldn't that raise red flags somewhere ?
Of course Pugent supports him, they are both psychos and hated by many. Pugent is also a fellow unethical hunter who got busted for illegal activities several times. As well as a bigmouth who shut up really quickly when the Secret Service knocked on his door after he threatened President Obama and called him a "subhuman mongrel". And called Native Americans “unclean vermin” who don’t “qualify as people.” when some tribes canceled his "concerts". As well as being a racist, he is also a bigot, misogynist, child molester, and his music totally sucks. And stupid too if he thinks it's great to kill one of the few remaining lions in the wild for a trophy.
Exactly. Two sick, sadistic, racist psychopaths. No surprise here.
Nugent and the Dentist are both idiots. I am not a hunter, but can sort of understand hunting animals IF YOU ARE GOING TO EAT THEM, but killing a beautiful animal simply because you have the ability to do it is absolutely senseless.
I hope this Dentist loses everything he has, such a horrible thing to do to something that wasn't causing you any harm whatsoever.
The outrage is because the Lion wasn't bothering anyone and some d-bag comes along with a gun and kills it for "sport" which it isn't by the way. In addition this putz didn't even really hunt it in a traditional manner. Of course there are more pressing issues in Zimbabwe, all the more reason to leave the wild life alone.
Exactly. He was lured and slaughtered.
That takes any notion of "sport" out of it.
BTW, Zimbabwe has asked for his extradition. But the scaredy cat rich man is in hiding.
