'Lion killer': Walter Palmer's Florida vacation home vandalized

Vandals spray-painted the $1.1m property's garage and littered the driveway with pigs feet in reaction to the Minnesota dentist's killing of Cecil the lion last month

Vandals spray-painted "lion killer" on a tony Florida vacation home that is owned by an American dentist who killed Zimbabwe's best-known lion, authorities said on Wednesday.

The damage to the home of Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, a game hunter who last month killed 13-year-old Cecil, a rare black-maned lion, is being investigated as misdemeanor criminal mischief, said Marco Island police captain David Baer.
