Walter Palmer, the US doctor accused of killing popular Zimbabwean lion, Cecil the Lion will return to his dental practice on Tuesday.
Palmer had sparked a world-wide outcry in July when he killed the famous 13-year-old lion, in a hunt he insisted was legal.
He said he could not wait to return to his staff and patients at his River Bluff Dental practice in Bloomfield, Minnesota after a two-month break, in a chat with Associated Press.
“I need to get back to my staff and my patients, and they want me back,” the 55-year-old said.
“This has been especially hard on my wife and my daughter,” he stated.
