But he was hunting antelope, that's not as bad though? I'm against that type of hunting regardless, but he wasn't hunting elephants. Is the antelope population large?

First the whales, now elephants, keep up the good work guys
I would like to take every big game hunter, take away their weapon and put them in an arena with the last thing they shot. Nobody of these ballless losers would survive.
Satisfying, but sort of falls under animal cruelty.
How much prep time do they get? Or is it just hand to paw combat?
Hand to paw, no prep time. Just as nature intended.
They usually payhuge amounts of money to support conservation efforts, killing animals that specifically need to be culled. Generally they aren't poaching
Sorry, you fell for billionaire propaganda.
Lions (which is the animal in the above picture) and most other big game like elephants, tigers, any large cats etc (so all the animals that are poached by billionaires) never need to be culled. Most of them are actually endangered species and poaching them is highly illegal. Even stuff like antelopes, water buffalos or some zebra specias are endangered.
Stuff that needs to be culled are animals like deer in europe because we have completely eradicated their natural predators and not culling them would completely destroy the ecosystem as they eat young trees which kills the forest. And even that is only done if you have a license and with strict reporting duties. But shooting a deer is probably not cool enough for mister milionaire who needs a lions head above his fireplace.

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

Oh noes. So sad. JK.
The frogs were always gay and if they ever become straight that is a cry for help.
my fanfiction is that those specific frogs were straight. but seeing as much Alex Jones needed a win they pretended to be gay. Nothing wrong with kissing your homies, and it made Alex Jones happy.

I'm assuming it's slop because I'd like it to be true.
I was not able to find a source I find reliable, but there are many sites that suggest elephants recognize individual humans and recognize guns as threats, and can even recognize a gun pointed at them is a threat. So if someone they don’t know has a gun, and we’ll never know if he aimed one at an elephant for funsies, they may have identified him as a threat and defended themselves by killing him.
The Daily Mail article says he’d killed elephants before, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like how a bunch of them died underwater and they were still too arrogant to realize nature is scary.
Nature is healing
Is it another one, or is it the same which have been reposted about for years now? It would be great if it is a movement in the works, all those shitstains really needs to die horrible deaths.
The Daily Mail article is dated today, so it looks like a new one.
Karma, bitch.
Is there video
