Dentist who killed Lion reportedly hires security for Florida Home [View all]

The American dentist who shot Cecil the lion has reportedly hired a private security firm staffed by armed ex-cops to protect his home.

Walter Palmer contacted the Global Investigative Group after his Florida vacation home was spray-painted with the words "lion killer," and what appeared to be marinated pig's feet were scattered in the driveway, The Associated Press and New York Post reported.

"We have armed investigators on the property, we're setting up covert cameras, we're documenting all license plates," Walter Zalisko, who heads the firm, told the News York Post. "Every investigator is a former police officer. They are all highly trained, armed with handguns and are all licensed by the state of Florida."

Palmer, 55, has been the subject of global outrage since he killed the well-known lion in Zimbabwe. Officials there said they are seeking his extradition, and he has closed his Minnesota dental practice following protests and disappeared from public view
