Palmer on Thursday wrote to to his patients to say he he was sorry for killing the beast, but described hunting as his passion.
I dont often talk about hunting with my patients because it can be a divisive and emotionally charged topic, he wrote. I understand and respect that not everyone shares the same views on hunting.
Repeating his claim made in an earlier statement, Palmer said he had no idea the lion he killed was a known local favourite and said he would assist the Zimbabwean authorities.
The dentist has a kill list of 43 different animals including a polar bear, a mountain lion, an elephant and an African lion he killed in 2005, according to records obtained by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

polar bears will be extinct in no time without his fucking attention. Good luck hiding, mr dentist while the world hunts you to be sent back to Zimbabwe. They want his ass.
EDIT Apparently he's negotiating to turn his sorry ass in. TMZ has a horrendous picture of him holding a leopard he killed like the sorry bastard he is. GAH! What a blighted man!

(20,886 posts)Zimbabwe is now calling for extradition. If the U.S. Can determine that he broke the law as it applies in this country, he will be extradited. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

He should quit being a cowardly liar and come out of hiding.
