(CNN)The brother of slain Cecil the lion, named Jericho, was killed Saturday in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, a senior park official told CNN.

Jericho was gunned down by a hunter operating illegally, said Johnny Rodrigues, head of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.


Cecil was also killed illegally, provoking an international outrage because he was a protected animal, and Zimbabwe is seeking the extradition of American dentist Walter Palmer on accusations that he and others illegally hunted the lion, authorities said.

From the article:  "It is with huge disgust and sadness that we have just been informed that Jericho, Cecil's brother has been killed at 4pm today," the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force said Saturday on Facebook.   "Huge disgust" seems too mild of a statement for something like this.  >:(

Palmer's business has closed and he's gone into hiding.

I thought they were now saying that the report on Jericho was false?

Locutus

Seems there are conflicting reports now.  :rolleyes:

The link above said definitively that he had been killed a couple of hours ago, but now it's been changed.

Yeah, yahoo has reports it was false but I wasn't sure. Now NBC is saying that he may have been killed. I guess time will tell!

The group that made the statement that Jericho had been killed has retracted them.

I had a honey-do list so long that I didn't get a chance.  That's what I hate about working a job that requires 50+ hours a week. All my work around the house piles up during the week and I end up killing myself on the weekends to catch up.

Can I ever relate to that. Before I retired I would spend Sat getting everything done possible then take Sunday off and do nothing. Of course the list would be even longer the next week but I was, at times, able to work some small things in during the week after I got home.
