New York Times: Killer of Cecil the Lion Finds Out That He Is a Target Now, of Internet Vigilantism — "After Zimbabwean officials identified Dr. Palmer as the hunter, activists used search engines to find his contact information and social media to share information about his business and his family, stirring a fever pitch of anger strong enough to effectively dismantle his digital life. Angry people sent a surge of traffic to Dr. Palmer’s website, which was taken offline. Vitriolic reviews flooded his Yelp page. A Facebook page titled 'Shame Lion Killer Dr. Walter Palmer and River Bluff Dental' drew thousands of users. Dr. Palmer’s face was scrubbed from industry websites."
