CRI听力:Second American Hunter Accused of Killing Zimbabwean Lion

Authorities in Zimbabwe are accusing another American doctor of illegally killing a lion in April.

This follows on the heels of a Minnesota dentist killing a famous lion in Zimbabwe in early July.

Authorities in Zimbabwe are looking into reports a doctor from Pennsylvania may have also shot and killed another lion with a bow and arrow near Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park without approval.

Prince Mupazviriho with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate says they've suspended safaris in the region as a result.

"We have banned every activity so that we can investigate and establish the truth of the matter. But as of now our law enforcement officers are looking into the matter so that we can really understand what transpired and if what ever happened in April was illegally done."

Under the law in Zimbabwe, it's illegal to bow hunt for lions without prior approval.

Zimbabwean authorities are currently seeking the extradition of a Minnesota dentist who is accused of killing a famed lion named 'Cecil' a month ago.

Two Zimbabwean nationals are currently facing charges connected to that case.

Walter Palmer has insisted he relied on his professional guides to ensure his hunt was legal.
