Rocker Ted Nugent backs dentist who killed Cecil the lion

Rocker Ted Nugent has defended a dentist who killed a protected lion in Zimbabwe, as the country seeks his extradition from the US.

In an interview with the Rita Cosby Show on WABC radio in New York, Nugent, 66, an outspoken advocate for hunting, railed against people who were upset about the killing, saying the outrage was because the lion was given a name, Cecil.
