Zimbabwe court charges game park owner over illegal hunt of Cecil the lion

The game park owner accused of letting an American tourist illegally hunt and kill a lion on his property in Zimbabwe has been charged in connection with the killing and released on bail in Hwange, his lawyer said.

The killing of Cecil, a 13-year-old, rare, black-maned lion and a popular tourist attraction, caused global consternation and triggered a major backlash against Africa's multi-million dollar hunting industry.

Honest Ndlovu owns the game park into which Cecil was lured from the adjacent Hwange National Park and shot with a bow and arrow by American dentist Walter Palmer.

Let's see Mr. Honest's name and picture plastered everywhere, condemning and excoriating him for basically stealing the animal and setting it up to be killed. He is to blame, not the dentist.

Please tell me he wasn't wearing a confederate flag on his t-shirt as well.
