An Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth

By Baxter

Does Walter Palmer have any patients left? We guess we'll find out on Tuesday, when the reprehensible lion-killer says he'll be going back to the office.

The world's most hated dentist (and that's saying a lot) seems to think he can lie low for a month or so and that people will suddenly stop bothering him about his odious crime of offing Cecil the Lion. "If I had known this lion had a name and was important...obviously I wouldn't have taken it," he bleated.

"Taken." As if Palmer had picked Cecil off some shelf instead of making him suffer for 40 hours and then skinning him. We can't think of anything more horrible unless it's a double root canal without novocaine — a fate Palmer richly deserves. But Palmer defends himself by claiming his hunt was "legal."

Well, here's hoping that, as always, demonstrators show up at his practice tomorrow. And that somebody has a sign that says, "EVEN IF IT'S LEGAL, IT'S IMMORAL." We cats HISS.
