Quite a fall to do that kind of damage.

I can’t shake the feeling that a “hold m’beer” moment allowed an elephant to display the versatility of it’s trunk

I hate what they are doing to that poor elephant making him pose like that.

That being said, I do like King Juan Carlos because he told Chavez to “shut up”

One has to be quite the marksman to shoot an elephant during a Canned Hunt.

I don’t feel sorry for him in the least. There is nothing good in killing a pachyderm.

Meanwhile 20,000 more Muslim immigrants arrived in Spain, with 5 new Mosques opening up.

European royalty is almost entirely useless. The last one I heard say something sensible was the Danish Queen.

I wonder if the elephant-sympathizers have any clue that much of the $50k to cull one elephant goes to fund anti-poaching efforts that protect far more creatures, and a healthy population.

Elephants aren’t endangered, any more than white-tailed deer.

And they can be pests that need to be manged and culled.

It serves the idiot Juan Carlos jolly good for shooting elephants. That is so ugly and heartless.

It looks like idiot Juan Carlos is going to be in a wheelchair of a long time and then on a walker for the rest of his meaningless life.

The elephant got its revenge. I rather have had the elephant unharmed and alive.

Also, he won’t be out there shooting more elephants.

He is finished.

That is great news.

And the elephants rejoiced. Me too. Barbaric sport for such intelligent animals.

I've visited Botswana ... stayed in one of the most upscale game lodges in that country. The game tours were spectacular ... you were within a few yards of prides of lions, Cape buffalo, giraffes, elephants, etc., etc.. Killing an elephant is a no brainer ... if this story is true this Spanish POS needs to die a slow agonizing death ... we were, no exaggeration, sitting in Land Rovers within touching distance of elephants ... they surrounded our vehicle.
