"We are unable to locate Minnesota dentist Walter J. Palmer, but are confident we will at some point. Everyone in Zimbabwe knows we are looking for an old, impotent white male carrying a lion's head on him so it should be any time now. If Palmer left Zimbabwe, countries around the world are lining up to prosecute him, so one way or another the world will punish him," stated Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.

"After Palmer failed to kill Cecil, he tracked him for two days before shooting and decapitating him. Palmer has a felony hunting record in America after he shot a bear in Wisconsin about 40 miles outside of the zone he was licensed to hunt in. So his claim he didn't know what he was doing is bullshit," said Johnny Rodrigues of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.
The two guides Palmer hired have been charged in Cecil's death, but Palmer remained at-large when this story was published by TNA. Palmer has been forced to close his dentist's office in Minnesota due to the public outrage regarding his killing of Cecil, but he admitted it could be worse and he "could be the one decapitated with his body left out to rot in the sun."
