A professional hunter was killed when an elephant that had just been shot fell on top of him, according to reports.
South African big-game bagger Theunis Botha, 51, was leading a hunt in Zimbabwe on Friday when his group accidentally walked into the path of a herd of breeding elephants near Hwange National Park and three of the elephant cows charged at them, the Telegraph reports.
Botha fired at the rampaging pack but was caught by surprise when a fourth cow came in from the side and picked him up with her trunk.

“Time to get a new Timex!”
And other individuals of the same breed who find such arrogance extremely offensive.............
What’s the point of going out with modern weapons to kill a beautiful animal, just to say you did it (IE, not for food)?
Exactly!! I don’t like deer hunting but at least my kids eat what they shoot and anyone who kills animals for any other purpose, I have no sympathy if they’re hurt or take a dirt bed!! That’s cowardice and uncaring to the max and I’m sorry the elephants didn’t take more of them out before the animals died. I guess I’m screwed up in the head to take an animals side over a human’s but that’s the way I go.
Are you including law-breaking POACHERS in that scenario?
I do miss Gary Larson.
Gawd....lol
What about me... I went out this morning to shoot ground squirrels who are undermining and eating my hay field and pastures.

Yeah, makes me sick. Conservative site, my ass.
It used to be a lot more Conservative when I first joined. Now I hate to say, it's attracted a lot more GOP Establishment.

Hunt with a camera. Many people can enjoy the same game animals.
Do you NOT understand that: 1)hunters pay money for the right to take game.....2)African villagers are employed to assist hunters and their guides.......3) money from the hunting license is used to improve game habitat, which benifits multiple heard of animals.......4) African villagers are often given the animal's meat, which can feed them for weeks.......(5 sometimes Villagers need rogue animals culled when they move out of parks/refuges.
when an animal occasionally wins
Sooo, to you the animal kingdom is repressed and on occasion they deserve reparations! Are you the FR Peta rep?
Go eff yourself!
For years I’ve told my kids I’d like to be 90 and killed by a cape buffalo, or eaten by a lion while hunting, as opposed to being remembered as a weakling in a nursing home with a diaper on.
My goal, as a 90 yo, is to be the defendant in muliple paternity suits. The big smile on my face will turn the jury against me.
I don’t see sport in raising vegetables. I do that for food, also. You are too ignorant to do either. Your post makes absolutely no sence, whatsoever.
supermarket meat, no animals were harmed!
Well said sir.
I voted for Cruz in the primary. Once Trump was nominated I sent him quite a bit of money and worked for his campaign. Since I disagree with you on this issue, I am now GOPe. Got it!
Is that all!
Thanks for the link. I now have it Bmkd.
If the Trump economy keeps going, with more stock mkt gains, a trip may be in my future!!!
That’s right you squishy, FR RINOs (lol), liberal repub, DC swamp dwellers, ssnowflakes, PETA followers......this story has my blood lust peaking. I want to see big gaping wounds, broken bones, and terror filled animal eyes!!!! I want a big bloody animal steak, WITH lots an lots of ketchup.
