FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A private security guard is protecting the home of the man who killed Africa's Cecil the lion after vandals spray painted his garage and left pigs feet and lion-shaped animal crackers on his driveway.
Walter Palmer hired the Fort Myers, Fla.-based Global Investigative Group to protect his $1.1 million vacation home in tony Marco Island. Earlier this week, a patrol officer drove by the house to see "Lion Killer!" spray painted on the white garage door. Police also found seven pickled pigs feet and a container of lion-shaped cookies. It is unclear if Palmer was at the home during the vandalism. Neighbors said they have not seen him recently.
