In 2015, the world was outraged when Cecil the Lion, a beloved and protected animal in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, was lured out of the reserve and killed by American trophy hunter Walter Palmer. The backlash was swift, igniting debates on conservation, ethics, and the dark world of big-game hunting. In this episode of Man Eaters, we dive into the circumstances surrounding Cecil’s death, the global response, and the ongoing fight to protect the world’s most vulnerable wildlife.
Then in our Scratch Of The Day: two fatal dog attacks, an epidemic of elephant killings in India and a Uzbekistani zookeeper eaten alive by lions.
