The dentist who hunted down Cecil the lion ramped up security at his Florida vacation home after vandals scrawled “lion killer!” on its garage and chucked pickled pigs’ feet on the driveway.

Now it start to be ugly here and a witch hunt!
The dentist Palmer is just only one of the "hunters".
Go instead for the so called "authorized" game keepers!

Airlines Ban Big Game Trophies from Cargo After Cecil the Lion Death

The ban is on all lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo "trophies"

The international indignation ignited by the death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe last month is persuading some airlines to consider their policy on the shipment of big-game carcasses and body parts (known in hunting parlance as “trophies”).

Yes!

Cecil the lion bronze statue planned, says wildlife group

Cecil the lion, whose death at the hands of hunters in Zimbabwe prompted worldwide outrage, may be commemorated by a bronze statue at the entrance to the park where he lived.

Some local media reported that the suspects were arrested in different parts of the forest before they were killed, but police said they died during the raid.

Still don't understand this 'sport'.

Me neither.
Your story reminds me of the movie "Deer Hunter".

Today one can play this instead.

Harare - Zimbabwe's popular Lion Lager is using Cecil to market its beer. The brand placed adverts in the Zimbabwean press on Thursday saying, "Our pride lives on - A tribute to Cecil the Lion".
Jericho Advertising, a leading Zimbabwe ad agency, is also capitalising on the Cecil furore, this time concentrating on Cecil's coalition partner who is also called Jericho.

As I have posted in the past:

As a non-hunter, I was invited to kill deer by some associates (I did kill humans in Vietnam, who were trying to kill me).

Long story, short: After much hesitation. Decided it would be a 'Learning Experience' regarding why people hunt animals for 'sport'.

Equipped with a high-powered scoped rifle, and license: I couldn't even raise my rifle to kill this poor deer.

Still don't understand this 'sport'.

I understand people who go hunting wild hogs, 'cause they r tasty vermin!

but 2 hunt a deer? nope, not my style! ;)

I dont have any problem if one eats dogs when hungry.
But this :(
Stop Dog Meat Trade
Thousands of dogs — some of them strays or even stolen pets — are being put through unspeakable horrors as part of the illegal dog meat trade in Southeast Asia.
These terrified animals are tortured, kept in overcrowded cages, and live short lives in filthy conditions.

What's worse is that the torturing, which may include these poor creatures being beaten, skinned or even boiled alive, is viewed as an important part of the process — it's believed that when dogs are in pain they release adrenaline in their bodies, which softens their meat.

I know for a fact that meat gets destroyed when an animal is killed under stress...

If so much had not been invested in my career path, this thread would be making me question it.

Walter Palmer, has a shady past. He lies.

Hunter Tied to Cecil the Lion Killing Headed Back to Work

The Minnesota dentist whose killing of Cecil the lion fueled a global backlash emerged Sunday for an interview in which he disputed some accounts of the hunt, expressed agitation at the animosity directed at those close to him and said he would be back at work within days.

Walter Palmer, who has spent more than a month out of sight after becoming the target of protests and threats, intends to return to his suburban Minneapolis dental practice Tuesday. In an evening interview conducted jointly by The Associated Press and the Minneapolis Star Tribune that advisers said would be the only one granted, Palmer said again that he believes he acted legally and that he was stunned to find out his hunting party had killed one of Zimbabwe's treasured animals.

Again!
German hunter pays nearly £40,000 to shoot one of the largest elephants ever seen in Zimbabwe, while conservationists and safari guides mourn the loss of ‘magnificent’ animal.
