A costume company is causing an uproar for its bloody “Lion Killer Dentist” Halloween costume.
There was global outrage surrounding the killing of a lion named Cecil in Zimbabwe by a Minnesota dentist in July. The hunter, Walter Palmer, was forced to abandon his dental practice and go into hiding as the outrage grew.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that only a month later people are taking issue with the costume, which features a blood-covered shirt that resembles a dentist’s smock along with a severed lion’s head.
The real crime here is that price. I'm not even a "make your own costume!" person but you can could pull this off (better) for less than $20. You'd still be wearing a ****** costume, but at least you didn't pay $100 plus shipping.
Fake edit: At least they responded in a semi appropriate way? It's a step down from removing it but if they keep their word at least it's something.
