How long will it take to find him?

How long to complete the process to send him back to Zimbabwe?

Anyone want to make a guess?

I say at least 6 weeks on finding him, maybe longer.

Has he gone into hiding from the law?

He's hiding from all the compassionate animal lovers wanting to murder him for killing a lion they never knew existed until a few days ago.

I am not going to get in a debate about this, but what he did was wrong. He has done similar before. He needs to pay the piper.

Yes, I have hunted all my life.

think that the good dentist is already talking to someone , probably has a lawyer . I think that he is only hiding from the loons that are looking to do physical violence to him .

I do not condone canned hunts for trophies.

That being said, he paid 50K to kill a lion. Very few people knew Cecil from the MGM lion a month ago, what if he didn't know Cecil either and just shot what the guides gave him? At least after the failed kill with a bow, they tracked it and put it down.

There is also an international manhunt going on for the killer of Clyde the Bedbug. Interpol and the FBI are involved.
I hope they find him.

Seems to me that the Dentist paid money to this African country for the 'permission' to do some hunting of some exotic game so if true the hunt was legal . Seems to me that the hunt was handled by professional hunting guides that SHOULD have known what was legal or not legal . --- http://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/2015/0 ... -the-lion/ --- might be some little bit of info in the link that I post .

Yeah, that is the problem. He's done it before. Makes any proclamations of innocence suspect to me. Don't want to see the guy killed but he does need to be held accountable.

You excel at looking things up. It is easy to find.

It wasn't a lion. It was fetal tissue.

Apparently the animal was lured and killed illegally. I assume that's why extradition is being sought. And he's knowingly killed illegally before. Oh, and they tried to destroy the tracking collar. Proof that they knew what they had done was illegal. Had they been on the up and up they would have notified officials immediately.

I think Jimmy Kimmel's monologue on the issue was right on.

According to news reports he's been convicted in this country of killing a bear out of season/area and moving the carcass to where it was legal to hunt. Also has an issue with not getting a pesky fishing license.

He claims it was a legal hunt.

His prior actions indicate to me other wise.

Let me point out that his PR company has dumped him! People as amoral as a PR firm don't seem to be able to stomach Palmer as a client. Do you have any idea
how low a PR firm will go? No ... and I don't either. Until now that bottom hadn't been found.

HE is, or should be, held accountable for his actions. If he can account for his actions, fine. If he can't, also fine. Through him under the bus. Remember, there are always consquenses.
This asshole has gone to ground rather than take his consequences like a man. He has the balls to hunt lions but doesn't have the backbone to answer for himself. Blaming his
guides is very lame. (Esp since I suspect the guides were doing basically what he asked for: get me 'a big, fabulous looking lion. And I'll just wait up on the top of this rise. When he slows
done as he's following the bait, I kill his ass!'

Yeah, we don't know that anything like that happened. Why don't the doufas (read: anti ethical killer) tell that part of the world what he thought he was doing and what he was
actually doing?

Seems to me he is good at one thing. Running away from his problem. Sneaks up on a lion, runs from the news.

[APPARENTLY ehh] thing is that no one actually seems to KNOW what he did that was illegal , I sure don't know . I hear that the good doctor paid his money to legally hunt exotic game . Seems to me that he had a couple Professional Guides that I Guess were licensed in the state of 'zimbabwe' . If the guides were licensed in the state of 'zimbabwe' then it seems to me that the problem , if any , is the Guides problem , course I do not KNOW . Anyway , this is the falling down , starving , crime ridden state of 'zimbabwe' run by 'mugabe' the wittle baby elephant eater so good times to be had going after a rich American Doctor from Minnesota Sue !!

Well, then. Isn't that exactly why the guy should stand up? Where the hell is he?

as I said , probably has talked to the men with special hats , probably has a lawyer . Probably in hiding from LOONS that want to do him violence . I don't blame him for hiding from the emotionally driven MOB as that action makes perfect sense to me !! Course , I am just speculating same as everyone else .
