The dentist who paid $50,000 to shoot, shoot again, and then skin and decapitate a 13-year-old African lion named Cecil will not be charged in Zimbabwe after all.

The leaves have begun to quiver on their branches, a cold breeze has blown through the air. That’s right, the season of horribly offensive costumes is upon us.

In his first interview since killing Hwange National Park’s iconic black-maned lion, Cecil, in July, Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer announced Sunday night he would be returning to his practice later this week.

A lion named Jericho, who CNN had reported dead on Saturday, is not dead, but is—thank goodness—still alive.

CNN reports that, according to a senior park official, Cecil the lion’s brother Jericho, who is also a lion, was killed on Saturday in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park. Others have called this account into question. [UPDATED.]
