Too far! The Cecil the lion killer costume complete with lion head
So yesterday we showed you the Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume which is available online and is causing some serious controversy amongst fans of the transgender role model.
But things have some how turned even more controversial in the world of Halloween costumes. We are absolutely appalled having seen the latest costume for sale on Costumeish.com.
A Lion Killer Dentist Halloween Costume became available at midnight last night and retails at €52.31. The costume comes complete with a severed head and a dentist uniform covered with fake blood splatters.
The company's CEO Johnathon Weeks told TMZ that they made the costume available after they were flooded with requests from people who wanted to dress up as Dr. Walter Palmer who killed Cecil the lion earlier this summer.
This costume has caused some serious backlash for the company already but Johnathon Weeks really thinks they are doing something good saying that 15% of all proceeds will go to the African Wildlife Foundation Justice For Cecil.
The description of the costume on Costumeish.com reads: "'All Doctor Palmer wanted was to hang dead animals in his house, but what started as an obscure (if legally-dubious) hunting trip has since erupted into a brouhaha of trans-Atlantic proportions."
"2015's most controversial killing has laid bare the rift in American and Zimbabwean attitudes toward exotic game hunting and animal conservation pitting an outraged mob against a Minnesotan dentist in a scandal sure to be remembered for a generation."
'Our Lion Killer Dentist Costume features a severed lion's head mask, bloody smock, and bloody gloves for a gruesome, complete look.'
The website has yet to sell one of the costumes.
