Bloomington, MN, dentist Walter Palmer came under fire in July 2015 after it was revealed that he had killed and beheaded Cecil, a popular lion among tourists and locals, during a hunting trip in Zimbabwe. Almost immediately after his name was revealed, Palmer was forced to temporary shut down his practice amid tons of public shaming on social media and groups protesting at his office and home. Palmer ultimately returned to work a few months later, avoiding criminal charges for the incident. Still, his name is forever immortalized on the Internet's wall of shame, as seen on his practice's Yelp page, which continues to be spammed with one-star reviews.
