A second American has been named in a growing big game poaching investigation in Zimbabwe.
Pennsylvania Dr. Jan Seski is accused of killing a lion in April and his guides have been arrested in the African Country.

Dr. Seski has been pictured online with a series of dead animals including elephants, hippos, zebras, ostriches, and water buffalo. An online hunting club claims he has killed six elephants.

It comes a week after Africa's most famous lion Cecil was killed by Minnesota Dentist Dr. Walter Palmer in early July, sparking international outrage.

.....

Seski was involved in an illegal hunt of a lion in April around Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, said the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority in a statement released to CBS.
A Zimbabwean landowner named Headman Sibanda was arrested in the case and is assisting police with their investigation, the authority said. He named Seski as being involved in the hunt.

Dr. Seski is listed as being Director of Gynecologic Oncology at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

1. Now this is an excellent opportunity for shaming.

Shame on you, Seski.

What's wrong with you?

What possible thrill can you get from this?

Make you feel like a real.....man???????

I think we all know the truth about THAT little matter, don't we?

21. Just paid a little visit to his Facebook page.

It's really brutal over there and he deserves every bit of what he's getting and more.
I spent 10 minutes "liking" all the appropriate posts.
I hope this murderous, asshole's life is now toast.

[TexasBushwhacker]

44. It's not really his Facebook page

There's a side note that it was generated from current interests.

[MrMickeysMom]

50. I followed your lead...

He deserves that and more.

[swilton]

3. I hope there is an analogous social media campaign..

When they're supposedly in the business of caring for people, it seems so contradictory to be harming animals -

BTW - just saw a recent post that 'Anonymous' is onto them and has started a campaign of exposure.

[magical thyme]

7. his yelp page is already being hit, along with "ratemds"

[PearliePoo2]

25. They are piling on. I spent 10 minutes there finding reviews "helpful".

Guys like this make me want to vomit.
He is one really sick fucker.
I hope his life is ruined and he goes to jail. It won't bring the dead animals back but maybe global awareness and outrage is now really kicking in and things will change.

[complain jane]

12. I was just thinking same - about caring for people vs. harming animals. n/t

[roguevalley]

33. anonymous is awesome. he killed a fucking bull elephant. HOW DO YOU DO THAT!!?!

[Helen Borg]

4. He looks like a mean SOB!

[niyad]

5. gynecologic oncology? bet he hates women as well as wild

animals.

[magical thyme]

6. and another one with a criminal background!

https://www.fbi.gov/sandiego/press-releases/2013/pittsburgh-oncology-practice-pleads-guilty-to-buying-unapproved-foreign-drugs

Pittsburgh Oncology Practice Pleads Guilty to Buying Unapproved Foreign Drugs
United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy announced today that Jan C. Seski, M.D. & Associates, P.C., an oncology practice based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of having caused the introduction of an unapproved drug into interstate commerce and was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine. Magistrate Judge Karen S. Crawford also ordered the defendant to place ads in two medical journals, warning of the dangers of unapproved drugs.

In pleading guilty earlier today before Judge Crawford, the medical practice admitted that between December 4, 2008 and May 25, 2011, the practice ordered $973,795 worth of foreign versions of the oncology drugs Eloxatin7, Gemzar7, and Taxotere7 from GlobalRxStore.com and had them shipped through Oberlin Medical Supply of San Diego. The drugs ordered by the practice were determined to be foreign versions of these drugs and were not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States.

9. Geez Louise. Thanks for that info, magical thyme.

After killing six elephants, he may be involved in the illegal ivory trade as well.

The photographs at the Daily Mail link are mind-numbingly heartbreaking.



We are going deep into this forest.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. so both these vanilla looking bald medical men are involved with MULTIPLE law breaking activites

the dentist for sexual assault ( settled out of court) and a felony for poaching bear IN a state park and for luring Cecil out of the protected reserve
and the dentist for importing illegal meds ( bet someone made money off the markup).

What is this, overcompensation for being bald and pasty white?

[Karma13612]

19. not that I am defending him on any count,

In this specific case regarding the foreign version of chemotherapy drugs, he might have been trying to get a more reasonably priced version of drugs that are astronomically expensive here in the US. Hopefully he was passing the savings on to the patients. But, maybe not. In any event, Americans are charged more for some drugs than the exact same drugs over in other countries and that is not right.

again, I am not condoning breaking the law, but big Pharma in the US is fleecing the American public and the FDA makes it legal because they don't approve equally effective, but more cost-effective versions of a drug for use in the US.

outside of that, this GYN is just as bad as the DDS. Very hypocritical human beings.

#feelthebern!16

[magical thyme]

26. the drugs were bought by him (and other doctors) at a steep discount

unless he passed that discount on to his patients, he was profiting from it. Maybe another way to fund his $50K killing sprees.

https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2013/october/internet-pharmacy-operator-gets-jail-time

Two doctors have admitted knowingly buying the foreign drugs. One of them, a Pennsylvania oncologist whose practice purchased nearly $1 million worth of the misbranded drugs, was recently fined $100,000 and ordered to place ads in two medical journals warning of the dangers of unapproved drugs (see sidebar).

Here issome of the ad he was required to place (bf mine):

"Do not put your patients, yourself or your practice at risk by purchasing and administering unapproved foreign-sourced drugs. Most of the drugs from foreign sources have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and may include misbranded, adulterated and counterfeit versions of FDA-approved drugs. They may not be of suitable quality to ensure safety or efficacy.”

[MBS]

24. no surprise.

In my experience, at least, people who treat animals badly usually also treat people badly. And are rarely the kinds of folks I'd pick as model citizens.

[Blue_Adept]

16. Jan is a multigender name

So why bring that into? Seriously, there's enough to go into with out making it all about sexuality.

[Cali_Democrat]

20. I would encourage you to delete this.

Please.

[Gregorian]

10. What a turd

[restorefreedom]

11. it also illustrates an important political issue

clearly these doctors are not being taxed enough. We've got to get a higher tax bracket on the disgustingly wealthy, then at least with just what little money they might have left get a small sailboat instead of killing beautiful innocent creatures.

[msongs]

13. it's all write offs. fly to africa, chat with local dentists...voila business tax deductions nt

[restorefreedom]

14. that bullshit needs to stop too imo. nt

[swilton]

47. This is what our privatized health care system encourages

Not doctors who care about people but those who are in it for $$$.

[seafan]

17. It's not only adult animals this sick bastard kills.

Dr. Jan Seski poses here with what appears to be a tiny deer he killed on a hunt in Africa where he is accused of illegally poaching a lion

I need to vomit.

[Adsos Letter]

29. I despise this man's actions, but...

the animal is probably an adult Dik-Dik:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dik-dik

[seafan]

37. Thanks for that info.

If this is that little critter, an adult would measure 12-16" at the shoulder, weigh 7-16#, this one looks like a male with horns, and they are monogamous. Wiki

These animals deserve so much more than to be mercilessly hunted by the likes of Walter Palmer and himself, for the sole reason of feeding his ego and adorning the walls in his shrine of horrors, like Walter Palmer's.

[cab67]

51. I've often wondered what they looked like before their gene duplication event.

(Get it? They're the dik-dik following duplication of their genome, but before that, they were just called…)

Anyhow - I've seen plenty of dik-diks in the wild. Some of them are almost tame. It's like hunting for city pigeons.

[Tommy2Tone]

18. It won't be long before wild animals will be extinct.

I guess then monsters like this doctor will start hunting people?

[TBF]

46. There's already a profession for that -

police officer.

[sadoldgirl]

22. Hw about sending that whole organization

to Syria to fight ISIS?

It is high time to put a legal stop to this!

[erronis]

28. Hell, they're already terrorists. Probably join ISIS to have free access to human targets.

[ladjf]

23. Six elephants. That's worse than the lion kill by far. nt

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

30. Makes me want to cry.

Elephants live in such bonded family units.

[seafan]

27. Seski, MD, also serves as medical director of the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery

Allegheny Health Network home page

OUR DOCTORS

Jan Seski, MD, serves as medical director of the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery.

Dr. Seski is a gynecologic oncologist who is also a respected national leader in bloodless medicine and surgery. He developed an interest in bloodless surgery while a faculty member at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the late 1970’s. Along with his colleagues there, Dr. Seski pioneered a hemodilution technique that enabled them to successfully operate on patients who did not accept blood transfusions.

I would think the Allegheny Health Network might look for another medical director.

[procon]

41. I hope his infamy spread and he gets the same notoriety as the dentist.

I wouldn't trust anyone who deliberately kills animals for thrills and 'pleasure' to make appropriate decisions for his human patients. He needs to go.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. How much does he donate to Republicans?

[navarth]

35. beat me to it. nt

[dorkzilla]

32. If the authorities aren’t going to prosecute

and the locals will help with their vile hobby the only way to stop these scumbags from trophy hunting is to name and shame so they lose their livelihood and have no money in which to pursue and murder these beautiful creatures.

I’m also getting REALLY sick of people coming up with this “but you don’t get this outraged when x happens...” with the ever-dwindling animal population and the ever-increasing numbers of humans, we must voice our outrage because THEY CAN’T.

[roguevalley]

34. god, i didnt think it was possible to despise this any more than I did.

pasty faced pinched faced fucker. Anonymous, out them all. Kill their careers, kill their obsession,

[lonestarnot]

36. ,

[MADem]

38. These people are not THAT old. Teddy Roosevelt used to do this kind of shit.

He didn't know any better, and that bloodthirstiness is a stain on his legacy today.

When you watched the Three Stooges, they would do riffs and schticks about the "Great White Hunter," who would shoot animals and put the skins on the floor and the heads on the wall. I grew up seeing that shit in the movies.

That said, after awhile, people came to the conclusion that there aren't many societies where doing this is necessary, useful, humane, sensible--a few remote tribes, for clothing, food, tools, etc., but not for people living in civilized society. Fake fur became more popular than regular fur. Photo safaris were how you went "hunting."

What POSSESSES these supposed healers to want to get their jollies hunting and killing shit for sport? It's a perverse thing. Why are they both in the medical profession? Is it a quirk in that gig, or something? I am so tired of looking at orafices, I just have to KILL SOMETHING!!!!!!!

What is the motivation? I just do. not. understand.

[catrose]

39. I don't understand either

But I sure wouldn't want those hands anywhere near me. And what is this, with him promoting bloodless surgery? So then he needs to let an animal's blood.

I'm not sure what they think other people think when they show off their kill photos. Me, major disgust.

And I come from a family of hunters, hunters who put meat on the table and didn't let the wounded suffer 40 hours. I don't think my uncles and cousins would recognize these guys as hunters. I hope not, anyway.

[MADem]

42. Really--it makes no sense.

I have a brother in law who puts food on the table in the same fashion, but he wouldn't go for this at all. It's reprehensible.

And what is UP with "posing with the carcass?" Ugh.

[CanonRay]

40. Apparently our Medical and Dental bills are so damn high

so these ass holes can go and shoot big animals to strengthen their withered penises. OK, now I understand!

[JI7]

43. he looks like the dentist

[d_r]

45. this is why

health care costs so much

[Skittles]

48. fucking coward

[Marie Marie]

49. Hippocratic Oath: First do no harm.

Guess they take a very narrow view of their oath. Animals are not people after all, but if Corporations can be people, why aren't animals awarded that same status. They are at least living, breathing biological entities.

Anyway, screw this guy and may he suffer the same public outrage as Cecil's assassin.

[blue neen]

52. OMG.

This is all over western PA news stations. Not good. How could he do such a horrible thing?

[IcyPeas]

53. saw another huntress from that link above.
