It’s not for food. It’s not the shooting, or tin cans would do. It must just be the thrill of killing. Mental. http://t.co/0fjtXoC1ML

@bob_owens he was a PROTECTED animal. It was AGAINST the LAW to kill him. But I guess only “stupid” people respect the law #CecilTheLion

#WalterPalmer is Satan. I don’t know how anyone could go to this man for dental services after this. He is a killer. Beware!
