Well, without knowing why the elephants were being hunted, I am reluctant to be pleased about the man's death, but if it was for 'sport' - GOOD!

I doubt that there is likely to be any other reason unless it had gone rogue and that would almost certainly have been mentioned.

Brilliant news.. and It reads that another (Great) Hunter was eaten by a crocodile..  :grin: :grin: :grin:

I find it all so sad that these cowardly  men/women  , with guns, find it great fun to shoot these beautiful defenceless creatures.. Bastards.. all of them.. I am always pleased to hear of the tables being turned on them.. 
Hope they suffered and were shit scared..

Sadly a lot of African elephants are killed every year because they are seen as vermin, they can literally drink a town's water supply in a day. Although I think the case in question was pure sport and selfies.

By my reading the elephants weren't the target animals. They just happened to be there and one attacked the hunters.

He attacked after the hunters shot at the other elephants, they're not daft these Nellies, they know to fear man and rightly so.
