Disgraced dentist boasted about killing Cecil to ‘chat up’ barmaid

Shamed dentist Walter Palmer used a gruesome picture of Cecil the lion’s carcass to try to impress a barmaid.

Disgraced dentist Walter Palmer allegedly showed off a grisly photograph of Cecil the lion’s carcass to try and impress a barmaid.

The 55-year-old also claimed to have broken a record for killing the “world’s biggest lion” in a Minnesota bar last week.

Palmer is now in hiding following global outrage over his slaying of one of Africa’s most beloved big cats.

Bartender Danielle, who works at Doolittle’s Woodfire Grill in ­Alexandria, said: “He showed me the image of the lion on his cell phone.

“I was just like, ‘Oh’ when he showed it to me – I pretended I was interested but I really wasn’t.

“I didn’t really know what to say.

“He told me he had broken some kind of record for the biggest lion but I wasn’t really that interested – he is old enough to be my dad.

“Walter comes in here about once a month when he’s passing through but I guess we won’t be seeing him any more.”

The revelation comes after more than 100,000 people signed a petition calling on Palmer to be extradited to Zimbabwe.

The country’s environment minister Oppah Muchinguri said today: “We are appealing for his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he can be held accountable for his illegal action.

“It was too late to apprehend the foreign poacher because he had already absconded to his country of origin.”

It has also emerged that the hunting enthusiast  had planned to shoot an elephant next.

Theo Bronkhorst, who headed Palmer’s hunting expedition, said: “The client asked if we would find him an elephant larger than 63 pounds, [the weight of one tusk] which is a very large elephant.

“But I told him I would not be able to find one so big, so he left the next day.”
