From the King of Spain to America's most famous hockey mom, proud displays of animal trophies haven't always been met with congratulations online
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, poor Cecil the lion no longer sleeps tonight. After news broke that the beloved big cat was killed by a dentist from Minnesota, the hunter, Walter Palmer, quickly became "the most hated man in America who never advertised Jell-O pudding on television", according to Jimmy Kimmel.
Palmer is reportedly receiving death threats and a deluge of horrible Yelp reviews, and it probably goes without saying that his patients are likely hunting themselves - for a new dentist. But Palmer is by no means the first big game trophy hunter to get skewered online for their exploits.
