While I understand the explanation, I’m really not ok with shooting elephants. Or big cats. I’m ok with hunting and killing animals but not some of those special ones, that’s just how I feel. Especially posing proudly beside a dead elephant. I have emotional issues over it.
I understand, I would not want to hunt them either. But the people in Africa- especially their government does not care about the animals only the $$ and at this point the money is coming from the big game hunts. So if not for the hunters the elephants, lions, etc. would all be gone.
