Yes, this has caused outrage around the world as news has come out that this dentist, according to authorities, Dr. Walter Palmer from Minnesota, was, in fact, responsible for killing this iconic lion. Now according to authorities, they baited the lion and pulled it out of a national park in Zimbabwe and shot it with a bow, but the lion wasn't killed.

I relied on expertise of my local professional hunters" -- John.</s>BERMAN: All right, David McKenzie for us in South Africa. Again, so many people look at this lion and think what a loss.
