PITTSBURGH (AP) — An American doctor accused of killing a lion in an illegal hunt in Zimbabwe says he did nothing wrong.
Dr. Jan Seski, of Murrysville, Pennsylvania, said in a statement from his lawyer Tuesday that he had participated in a lawfully permitted hunt.
The Zimbabwe government said Sunday that Seski used a bow and arrow in April to kill a lion without approval, on land where it was not allowed.
Seski says the lion hunt was in July and that he had the necessary permits and filled out all the required paperwork.
No charges have been filed.
