Walter Palmer's dental practice resumes: Minnesota "Cecil" hunter back to work.
The Bloomington, Minnesota dentist who has laid low since killing a well-known lion in Zimbabwe returns to work at his dental practice on Tuesday, the Minneapolis Star-Tribunereports in an exclusive interview. Dr. Walter Palmer killed the lion, which was being tracked in an Oxford research project and was nicknamed Cecil, with a bow and arrow in July after he and his guides allegedly lured it out of a protected area. (Guide Theo Bronkhorst is scheduled to begin trial on Sept. 28 in Zimbabwe on charges of failing to prevent an illegal hunt.)
Palmer’s interview was the first he’s conducted since accounts of the lion’s death became a major story—a story fueled by images of the dentist with other big-game trophies and the news that he pleaded guilty in 2008 to lying to federal officials about the details of a black bear hunt in Wisconsin. He has not been charged with a crime related to the Zimbabwe lion hunt nor contacted by authorities, a lawyer acting as his adviser says.
“I have a lot of staff members at River Bluff Dental. I’m a little heartbroken at the disruption in their lives, and I’m a health professional,” said the casually dressed Palmer, calm and all business, during the back and forth as attorney Joe Friedberg and a public relations consultant flanked him in what the dentist said would be his only media availability.
“I need to get back to treating my patients,” the dentist continued. “My staff and my patients support me, and they want me back. That’s why I’m back. I’ll be coming back this week.”
Palmer previously said in a statement that he did not know that Cecil was a well-known animal (or that it was being tracked for research) until after the lion was dead. Palmer “reiterated” in his interview that he believes the hunt was conducted legally, the Star-Tribunesays.
