No one knew animals in Africa are considered threatened and endangered from poaching? No one knew that?
I especially love the part where Cecil was tracked for 40 some hours and eventually killed because he was still alive with an hunting arrow lodged in him. I suppose upon finding a collar around his neck which could be picked up to track for many reason, the idea reporting the death to authorities wasn't important.
The hunting party never acted lawfully.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has opened its own investigation, but
has so far been unable to reach Walter Palmer. Officials are asking
Palmer to contact them immediately.
The outrage over Cecil's death is now being heard loud and clear in
Washington. A WhiteHouse. gov petition urging U.S. authorities to
extradite Palmer has more than 100,000 signatures, which means the Obama
administration will have to respond.
Meanwhile in Zimbabwe, Oppah Muchinguri, the country’s environment,
water and climate minister, said he is seeking to extradite Palmer, the
Associated Press reported.
"Unfortunately it was too late to apprehend the foreign poacher as he
had already absconded to his country of origin," Muchinguri said at a
news conference. "We are appealing to the responsible authorities for
his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he be made accountable."
