A Cruel Killing.

The killing of a special lion in Africa has caused anger around the world. Cecil was kept in an area where no hunting was allowed but hunter, Walter Palmer, decided this was the lion he wanted. So he, and his two helpers, lured Cecil into another area where hunting was allowed and shot him with a bow and arrow. This did'nt kill him but caused him pain for 40 hours until Palmer came back and shot him. After that he was skinned and had his head cut off, ready for the journey back to America and no doubt to adorn Mr Palmer's lounge. This heartless crime should attract the utmost punishment possible! Mr Palmer is a dentist and apparently his surgery has been closed down and he is in hiding but hopefully it wo'nt be long before he is found to face justice. The American airline, Delta, is now refusing to transport any further "trophies" and I hope all other airlines do the same. Trophy hunting for endangered animals, and canned hunting where the animal is prevented from trying to save itself is abominable and primitive and should be outlawed.
