The extradition of Cecil's killer is being sought

Zimbabwe will seek the extradition of an American dentist who killed a lion that was lured out of a national park and caused international outrage, said a Cabinet minister on Friday.

Dentist Walter James Palmer was even more accused by environment, water, and climate minister as he was hurting the image of Zimbabwe.

Oppah Muchinguri stated on a news conference, "Unfortunately it was too late to apprehend the foreign poacher as he had already absconded to his country of origin. We are appealing to the responsible authorities for his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he be made accountable."

Palmer stated that he was accompanied by two guides along with him to ensure that the hunt is legal.
The two Zimbabweans, a professional hunter and a landowner, have been arrested in the killing of the lion. Palmer was keeping a low profile in the meantime but on Friday U.S. federal wildlife authorities said that they have been contacted by the representative of the Minnesota dentist.

Palmer was believed to have lured the lion out of the park and shot it with an arrow using a bow, and tracked the lion after some time and finished it off with a gun, they said.

The cabinet minister is seeking to have Palmer be tried on the court of Zimbabwe as he had violated the laws of a foreign land, not his.

There had been no specified charges yet if Palmer is to be tried and convicted on the court of Zimbabwe. The penalty is not yet determined.

Cecil's head which was severed by the hunters, has been confiscated by wildlife authorities.

I pretty much neglected that I am already in the 3rd year of college level

I applied for a part-time job during the summer vacation before the first classes of the first semester. I had been busy and careless about studies, thinking that I could rely completely on stock knowledge. I forgot that I already have major subjects that I cannot afford to fail. I want to improve on my studies and I want my work life to be healthful for me too.

I see them both as development for my experience and wisdom, but it sometimes feels like I am being torn apart.

It's at times like these that a day off from work and studies would be most needed and appreciated. What you thought that a two-day day off every week wasn't enough, will be more than enough when you are stressed and pressured by work and studies.
