On Friday, Zimbabwe began the process of seeking the extradition of Walter Palmer, the 55-year-old American dentist who killed the country’s beloved lion, Cecil. While the country is appealing to the authorities responsible for extradition, there’s just one major issue with bringing Palmer to justice.

Cecil was a beautiful and beloved creature. Yet he, unfortunately, was just one of the countless exotic animals killed for sport every year. His death has drawn attention to where it is needed most.

Lions are primarily ground-dwellers, but occasionally jump up tree branches. Most Lions will remain in the same territory all year long, however some are nomadic and follow the seasonal prey. via Instagram http://ift.tt/1exrfO3
