Cecil has his revenge! PETA hits back at controversial lion killer costume with its own alternative that sees the slain animal attacking dentist Walter Palmer

'Cecil's Revenge' features a dentist's uniform with a Dr. Palmer name tag, complete with a plush lion grabbing the dental coat from behind leaving bloody claw marks

PETA is fighting back against an online retailer that created a controversial Cecil the Lion Killer costume, complete with a severed head, by releasing its own gory Halloween ensemble entitled "Cecil's Revenge".

Instead of the costume featuring the dentist holding a decapitated lion's head, like the original version, PETA’s option turns the tables and instead sees the lion attacking the medical professional. The graphic costume features fake blood spattered all over the dentist’s white coat, while a stuffed lion bites into the wearer’s shoulder

The outfit retails for $139.99 and is in direct retaliation to a similar, 'sickening', Halloween ensemble, sold by Costumeish.com, which retails for $59.99.
