Each year, the trendiest Halloween costumes are typically derived from the year’s most talked-about news stories.

And in 2015, there are plenty of choices that are sure to be the highlight of this year’s festivities…Some are positive, some are controversial.

Another costume that many are calling “tasteless” is Walter Palmer, the dentist who made headlines for killing Cecil the lion.

But PETA has come out with their own rendition – Cecil attacking the dentist!
