Son of Cecil the Lion Killed in Zimbabwean Hunt
Conservationists in Zimbabwe say the son of Cecil the lion, whose 2015 killing prompted an international outcry, has also been fatally shot during a hunt.
A group named Friends of Hwange Trust said Thursday on social media that 6-year-old Xanda, Cecil’s son, was shot on a “legal trophy hunt” several days ago. The group says Xanda, who was wearing a GPS collar installed by researchers, was killed outside the boundary of Hwange National Park.
