It's now reported that Zimbabwe is seeking a second American 'lion killer'.
Dr Jan Casimir Sieski from Pennsylvania killed a lion in April without a permit.

This could just be the tip of the iceberg....

"They're burning fire breaks. They're grading roads. They're pumping water," Stapelkamp said. "They're spending a lot of money in the management of lions and then someone just draws it across the railway lines having not paid a penny in its management and shoots it and runs away with its skin. It's unacceptable."
…

Zimbabwe's National Parks and Wildlife Authority said Saturday it has suspended the hunting of lions, leopards and elephants outside of Hwange National Park, and that bow and arrow hunts have also been suspended unless they are approved by the authority's director.

The authority also said it is investigating the killing of another lion in April that may have been illegal.

Dear esl_prof,

Drat, lost that list, too, I'm afraid. But there's this:

"Cecil the lion’s killer may have trouble avoiding extradition, experts say"

Dear John,

I don't know. It all sounds pretty speculative to me. I don't have high hopes that extradition will actually happen. But, hopefully, I'm wrong about that.

In the meantime, I'm saving a copy of your article to use the next time I have to teach real and unreal conditionals. If I had had a copy when subbing for a colleague two weeks ago, I could have illustrated the concept perfectly.

Regards,

ESL Prof

I wonder if this one will last as long as Kony 2012 or Bring Back Our Girls?

I guess I could make T-shirts, but I'm probably too late on this story. Oh well, I can get the next slactivist story and try to make bank.

When are we going to extradite all the people actually killing people? Bombing people is not as important as shooting a lion I guess.

Are you suggesting that Tony Blair and others be extradited to the Islamic State in Syria and the Levant ?

Parachute TB into the disaster zone he helped create? I can't think of a better punishment.

Well he was appointed "Peace Envoy in the Middle East". Mind you I never quite understood who made that appointment. Was it perhaps GOD ? More likely the Other One.

No doubt the same imbecile who nominated Henry Kissinger for the Nobel Peace Prize.
