A Pittsburgh doctor's attorney is defending his client against the Zimbabwe government, saying that their claims that his overseas hunting trip in July was illegal are simply "not accurate."

Atty. Greg Linsin has revealed on Tuesday that Dr. Jan Seski's took part in a "lawfully permitted hunt" where he obeyed the laws and filed the necessary documents to do so.

"As required by the rules in Zimbabwe, he promptly notified the Zimbabwean authorities and provided them with all of the information and paperwork required by law," Linsin said in a statement, according to CNN.

The statement also went on to say that Seski, a 68-year-old gynecologic oncologist and director of the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, wishes to go back to his medical practice and "continue to serve his patients."

Zimbabwe's Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said that Seski took part in an alleged illegal hunt back in April in the country's Hwange National Park, the same place where Cecil the lion was killed by American dentist Walter Palmer last month, which has caused universal uproar, HNGN previously reported.

However, Linsin was quick to deny those claims, retorting that his client was at home at that time, according to the New York Daily News.
