Bloomington Police are investigating threats against Palmer, whose location is not known. Because many of the threats were made online, police are having difficulty determining their origins and credibility.
A small memorial of stuffed animals stood in the entry door to the building that houses Palmer's dental practice. Signs taped to the door said "Rot in Hell" and "Palmer there is a deep cavity waiting for you!"
Demonstrators called for Palmer's arrest and asked people not to use his dental practice.
"Walter, you are a murderer, you are a terrorist," said Rachel Augusta, a Minneapolis resident and mentor coordinator at the Animal Rights Coalition, which organised the protest.

What he did was pretty shit, but he's not a murderer or a terrorist, and even were Hell anything other than a delusional fantasy, the source from which it may be gleaned has no problem whatsoever with killing other animals.
We're a seriously fucked up species!
Yep. Palmer's deed was altogether vile and selfish, but the over-the-top response of some of his detractors is in the realms of comedy farce.
Your wrong Mike it is time we took a stand over the destruction of the planets wildlife - this scum is just an example. The publicity will prevent other sadist hunters.
Unless taking a stand consists of making absurd and inaccurate accusations, and terrorizing people with death threats... I don't really understand how this represents 'taking a stand'.
