BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota (Enviro Snowflake Brief) August 8, 2038— Dr. Walter Palmer was the last living member of the long defunct trophy hunting Safari Club. In addition, Palmer was infamous with older wildlife advocates for the outrage he stirred 23 years ago when he killed Cecil the Lion, who was a beloved tourist attraction in Zimbabwe in the famed Hwange National Park.

This morning in Bloomington, Minnesota Walter Palmer, 77, passed after a long battle with Chronic Wasting Disease he contracted twenty years earlier ingesting infected elk meat after a hunting trip in Wyoming.

The Wildlife Conservation Society, among many conservation organizations speaking out, released a statement.

“It was the immoral, ego-driven, self-entitled ‘Ugly American’ hunter that provided the spark to ignite public opinion to end the sport of killing for fun. During that period twenty years ago, trophy hunters, like Mr. Palmer inadvertently galvanized the public to brand the Safari Club as morally unacceptable .”

Today, poetically marks the 10-year anniversary of all nations banning any kind of trophy hunting after years of overwhelming public outrage to stop the killing.

Dr. Walter Palmer remains will disappear quietly into the earth and neither he, nor the Safari Club, will be heard of again.
