A millionaire US big game hunter was ambushed and killed by FIVE angry elephants whilst hunting a small forest antelope in Central Africa armed with a shotgun.
It may be that the particular animal he was hunting was an elder animal, no longer capable of reproducing or one that threatened the offspring of others. Generally, when they’re talking about ethical hunts, they’re referring to these specific animals. Allowing rich foreigners to come in and play Safari and pay to remove those animals is a great source of funding for conservation efforts.
It’s also possible he just fucking lied. Or he was lied to. Or he knew he was lied to and didn’t care.
Regardless of the actual truth, getting trampled by elephants is fitting.
I think ethical conservation hunting is great, and I think trampling stupid rich people to death is even better. How great would it be if both things happened?!
