| Zimbabwe will not charge U.S. dentist for killing Cecil the lion Posted: 12 Oct 2015 12:42 PM PDT  By MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe will not charge American dentist Walter Palmer for killing its most prized lion in July because he had obtained legal authority to conduct the hunt, a Cabinet minister said on Monday, angering conservationists.
