lived. reporter: according to a statement by zimbabwe national parks, jan arrested hunted without a quota or permit. seski appears with other trophy killings including an elephant. he could not be reached for comment and there no was answer at his house. seski is the second american doctor accused of killing a lion illegally in over a week following the death of the famed lion cecil. palmer has not been seen publicly since the news made international headlines. he stated to his knowledge everything about this trip was legal and properly handled and conducted. over the weekend, a tribute to cecil was projected onto the empire state building. on sunday cecil s brother jericho was confirmed to be alive after false reports surfaced that he too, had been killed. a field researcher erer snapped a
during that hunt, effectively wounding that lion and tracking it for many hours. clearly they are alluding to the fact this could be cruel and unusual type of hunting. while this could help stem the issue of illegal hunting, it could also hurt the livelihoods of people in zimbabwe. there are some people who feel that hunting can have a place if managed properly. and there have been a lot of questions about cecil s brother jericho. how is he? do we have any indication this morning? reporter: in fact, he is doing fine. we spoke to a research we are that oxford university group which has gps collars on many of these lions and they have one on jericho as well. they ve been tracking him and they sent us the gps coordinates
where he is. jericho is fine. the issue of hunting and poaching of course throughout southern africa is a big issue and continues. this one lion cecil has become a symbol. but it is a way to look into the broader picture of the decimated populations of lions throughout africa who have lost more than 90% of their populations in the last few decades. this has really put a sharp focus on this issue. one piece of good news is jericho is going well and those cubs should be fine. that oxford group has raised half a million dollars in the last couple of days to protect wildlife in that area. thank you, sir. jon stewart gets set to walk away from his long run of comedy central s the daily show.
they re the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i ll drive it every day of the week. together, we re building a better california. ly killing of ofcecil the lion has made an outpouring of despair. when conflicting reports emerged alleging that cecil s brother jericho was illegally shot and killed by another hunter yesterday at 4:00 p.m. local time it sparked a new wave of emotion on social media. an oxford university media is
tracking them saying jericho is at least still alive and well based on gps data. still, the outpouring of emotion illustrates how attuned we are to the suffering and abuse of certain animals. so why visceral emotional connections to lions like cecil but not other animals? this became quite a thing yesterday as we talked about how we feel about narnia how we feel about the lion king and how babe the pig can give us these feelings but, man, we will eat a chicken all day and step on an ant. i just wonder about this sort of influence we have over certain animals. if you go to a theme park there are some pandas and lions and so forth that have their own personality, if you will and it s commercialized so therefore we have an emotional connection to him or her.
