[I don’t have a problem with folks hunting when a certain species is overpopulated and in danger of starving (i.e. deer hunting).]
You must do a little research. Elephants are overpopulated in some areas. In others they are scarce. What they are not, is endangered. There are also many different “breeds” of elephants. Some are more plentiful than others and not all are legal to hunt. All hunting is regulated unless done illegally.
From you friendly deer hunter. I hunt because I enjoy it and venison tastes Grrrrrreat!
Can you please explain to me the “pleasure” of killing an animal?
