Zimbabwe Alleges That There's Another American Who Had Also Illegally Killed a Lion

First there was this dentist whom the African Gorvernment wants to extradite for killing a well-known Cecil the Lion in early July.  Now Zimbabwe says that in April a doctor had also allegedly killed, illegally, a lion.  According to ABC news, Zimbabwe's National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has accused Jan Casimir Seski of Murrysville, Pennsylvania, of shooting the lion with a bow and arrow in April near Hwange National Park, without approval, on land where it was not allowed.  Furthermore, reports say that the landowner, Headman Sibanda was arrested and currently assisting the police.

Seski, on the other hand, is a gynecological oncologist who directs the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Furthermore he is also known as an active big-game hunter, according to safari outfitters and bow-hunting sites where "Dr. Jan Seski" can be identified in the pictures that show the hunter and the slain animals including elephants, a hippo, an ostrich among others.

There is one image on a Facebook page that showed Seski posing with the body of a small antelope in 2012.  It had a caption saying that it died two days after Dr. Jan Seski shot it with a bow and arrow and some caption even described how the arrows penetrated the organs and split the bones.  The photo was taken down after several complaints circulated.

In another picture dated September 2014, Alaska Bowhunting Supply has captioned, "This Zimbabwe elephant is the sixth African elephant shot by Dr. Jan Seski."  That picture was showing the doctor standing above the dead animals trunk and tusks.

Those are just some of the pictures that showed the doctor and the animals that he killed. Dr. Seski has not made any comments and has not returned the calls made by the press
