Just a reminder that these hunts are for the purpose of culling for conservation. This wasn't some dude rolling with poachers.
So what you're saying is elephant populations are out of control? Hard to fathom honestly. Now if you were talking about Deer in any state in the USA I'd say ok sure but elephants? No.
He wasn't hunting elephants. And they typically cull older males that aren't reproducing but are strong enough to stop younger males.
Says he was hunting antelope
My bad I'm at work so skimmed it and totally fucked that one up!
Elder elephants can be absolute bloodthirsty bastards. Ironically, zero kill conservation is a large part of the reason, because they now live longer on average. Culling aggressive elder males that aren't reproducing but are being aggressive and murderous towards other males that can mate helps improve their population overall.
There's a guy above with a much more in depth comment above mine that I'd highly recommend reading
the older one controls the younger males, which are actually doing the killing of other animals, like rhinos, hippos. it has been well established for decades. so culling doesnt make sense on these big game animals, since most of them are pretty much endagered. i cringed when i always seeing a cape buffalo getting killed by trophy hunters.
