Day after Walter Palmer was accused of killing beloved lion Cecil, protestors gathered outside his office.

CBS News

A day after Palmer was accused of killing Cecil, one of Africa's most famous lions, demonstrators didn't leave any doubt about what they thought of their hometown dentist.

Bloomington residents also turned up in front of his office -- now closed.

"He killed Cecil just because he wanted some skin and a head? That's unreasonable," said a 10-year-old protestor.

"I'll be taking these pearly whites elsewhere," said patient Ann Flood.

Palmer paid $55,000 for a permit to shoot a lion in Zimbabwe. An avid big game hunter, Palmer defended the hunt as legal, and said he'd trusted his local guides.

But Zimbabwe officials accuse Palmer's team of luring Cecil off a protected reserve where Palmer shot him with a bow and arrow. But it took 40 hours -- and a gun shot -- for Cecil to die.
