All the best.
That's my understanding as well that Cecil was lured off of the protected reserve. While, there may be some sensationalism involved in the reporting, I do think there rings some semblance of truth as this isn't the first time this Dentist has had a run in with an illegal wildlife hunt. And when questioned about the illegal hunting of said bear, lied about it to wildlife officials. He was found guilty, fined, and sentenced to one year probation.
