Officials in Zimbabwe have reported that Cecil the Lion was illegally hunted for $55,000 by Walter James Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota. Cecil was allegedly lured out of his home in a national park using food, shot with a crossbow, tracked for 40 more hours, then murdered with a gun. Cecil’s head was cut off as a trophy of his murder, and he was skinned. Cecil was part of an Oxford University research project and wore a GPS collar.

If true and illegal, then a warrant for his arrest should be issued and an application to have him extradited should follow. Something tells me that the USA, though keen to extend the reach of the DoJ worldwide, aren't so enthusiastic when it comes to reciprocity.
I'm also told that this is being widely reported today across the EU , including the BBC, Times, Guardian and petitions are gathering 'substantial momentum'.
Personally, I'd crucify the 'low-life'.

Jeremy, can't follow your thought process here - perhaps you could expand ?
