Zimbabwe seeks second American 'lion killer

 

Zimbabwe says it is seeking a second American over the illegal killing of a lion, as the outcry over the death of famed animal Cecil continues.

The National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said the man from Pennsylvania killed a lion in April.
A Zimbabwean land owner has since been arrested, the agency said.
Cecil was shot illegally in July. Zimbabwe is seeking the extradition of the man who killed him, Walter Palmer of Minnesota.
The National Parks authority gave little information on the new case, but said on Sunday that the killing of the lion had taken place without a permit.
It said the hunt had been arranged by a Zimbabwean man who owned a safari company. The man they are seeking is from Pennsylvania.
The authority said in a statement that it had agreed to "undertake an industry-wide investigation to crack down and weed out any illegal hunting activities", but it was not clear if the latest case had emerged from that investigation
