‘So you shoot elephants in the head?’ BBC presenter @stephennolan asks hunter #cecilthelion

There has been worldwide outrage over the killing of Cecil the lion. The 13 year old animal, who was a major tourist attraction in Zimbabwe, was killed as part of a paid hunt. Walter Palmer a US dentist is thought to have paid around £35,000 for the hunt. It has lead to an online backlash from thousands, including many high profile celebrities, as well as protests outside his dental practice. It is thought that Mr Palmer is in hiding for his own safety.
