Elephant Just Killed Big Game Hunter During His Hunt In Africa

Theunis Botha, a well-known 51-year-old big game hunter from Johannesberg, South Africa, just had his last hunt. The man was leading a group of hunters in Gwai, Zimbabwe, when they saw a herd of breeding elephants. Sensing the danger, three of the animals stormed the hunters and Botha shot at them. What the man didn’t see was a fourth elephant coming after him from the side…
The animal lifted Botha with her trunk, so one of the other hunters shot her, causing the elephant to collapse. As she fell dead, the elephant dropped right on Botha, crushing the hunter to death.
According to Game Hounds Safaris, Botha’s company website, the man pioneered European-syle ‘Monteria hunts’ in the region. These kind of hunts use large packs of dogs to drive deer and boar towards them before opening fire on the animals. He was also known for hunting lions and leopards.
The man left a wife and five children behind. His body was taken to Hwange Colliery Hospital mortuary on Saturday.

Real shame the elephant died. More hunters should die gruesome deaths. Did I say more? I mean ALL.
The poor elephant having to spend its energy crushing people. I think the hunter deserved it.
nameme the undieing, that elephant had a life you know
I don't think you should say that about ALL hunters, like those who hunt some not endangered animals like deer and ducks that they later eat, but trophy hunters? Kill 'em all.
Markus I agree. While I couldn't imagine doing it myself, there is a difference between hunting animals to eat such as deer, quail, and ducks..,and big fame hunters. Animals killed by hunters are actually killed more humanely than those slaughtered in the food industry. And hunting is a necessary evil in some parts of the world where population explosions leads to devastating hunger and disease outbreaks among certain species.
Yeah no maybe I shouldn't say that, but I do. That someone thinks hunting and killing animals is a sport, or a hobby, or that they get any pleasure from it whatsoever is beyond me. Hunting for food is slightly better than trophy hunting of course, but totally unnecessary in most parts of this modern world.
Soheil you realize someone has to kill the chicken for you to eat it? In the US they are hung upside down in a cone type device that exposes their Nevis. Then someone slits their throats. But at least your not the one doing it.....
I wouldn't say that hunting is more humane, considering that shots can miss or hit a non-vital spot. In most developed countries, large animals are stunned before being killed, so that it's ideally painless. I don't know about fowl, personally.
So many typos and autocorrections in my post...what is "Nevis" LOL
I can't speak for wherever you live, but here in the central U.S. the regulated hunting of some game species in necessary, whitetail deer are a prime example, and in the south where wild boar populations are out of control and they are causing extensive property damage and ruining crops. I don't agree with trophy hunting or killing anything just because you can. Every deer, rabbit, or squirrel I take my family eats. I have friends who hunt waterfowl and have asked me to join them on hunts, but I don't care for duck or goose, so I choose not to hunt them. As far as the deer go, they have no natural predators left in this area as they have all been driven off long ago. There has to be a way to keep the populations in check, and hunting is the logical choice. As long as the hunter consumes what he takes, I have no problem with it. That's the way the world has worked for thousands of years. If you shoot an elephant just because you can, then you deserve for the elephant to fall on you.
Do you eat meat?
I feel awful for the elephants. Game hunters are disgusting human beings.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Oh Dear what a shame....fuck him....Whats the fucking point in killing an elephant... gentle animal who only wants to look after his or her young.....well this man should have been at home looking after his young...no sympathy..

I hope the majority of these comments are sarcastic. I disagree with the senseless killing of animals, but human life should always be values above animal life. If not, then we have truly lost our humanity. This man had a family, and most likely a wife and children, and I sincerely hope they never see these comments.
Human population: 7 billion Endangered animals usually have less than 10,000 left of their kind. I think comparatively, the animals life is worth more. The fewer there are, the more valuable they are.
We are all animals, and the horrible of us are not above the other animals just because we cannot understand them or because they are not as smart as him. Human-centric thinking is a serious issue when it comes to us caring about the environment. Sure WE might be able to live if we fuck up the Earth and have to move to Mars or something, but we aren't the only things on Earth!
A life is a life Human or not To say that a humans life should always be above an animals disgusts me Therefore meaning you disgust me

that guy had a life you know
And so did the endangered animals he slotrerwd
Doesn't happen nearly often enough. Hunting isn't a "sport". If hunters really want to make it a sport, put them on a large piece of fenced in land and let them hunt each other. THEN it will be a sport.
Like in the hunger games?
Yea maybe they should just do the hunger games.. not hunting animal..
Why not. I would watch it... Or not. Because who cares about humans, really...
Yeah!!! You said it all Paul, great comment. Let's see who win in a fair fight (esp since aggressor has no reason) just a piece of shit to his misinformed ego.
Shoot, what the - keep posting twice,, please excuse, will learn.
sounds like the plot of an of movie................great idea
They are actually doing a real hunger game, I think in Russia. It think it's called game2.
nah it would become hunger games
It would be “The Most Dangerous Game” look it up.
This reminds me of Shakespeare quote about "Turnabout being fair play". It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person either. :D
Whilst I am sorry for the wife and children of this person, and offer them sincere condolences for their loss, I can't help but think that this man has finally got his just desserts!! To make a living out of hounding, persecuting and mindlessly killing endangered animals for pleasure and/or profit, has to be one of the most offensive ways of making money!! For me, it is right up there with people trafficking & drug dealing....but the only difference is, that this kind of hunting is still-amazingly!!!- LEGAL!! Shame too, on all the countries and governments that allow this kind of barbarism to continue!!
Its way worse than drug dealing/ smuggling. Shooting animals and using conservation as their badge to do it (then smiling in their pics w the dead animals) is the lowest form of humanity. Mankind is natures greatest mistake.
My husband says that I shouldn't feel happy when a person dies, but I hate animal cruelty and it's just impossible for me to feel pitty for these people.😒
You are not alone in this dear.
Clearly he wasn't a person but a monster.
Im happy as pigs in shit when a hunter dies ESP when the animals he was trying to kill kills his worthless life
It's a true shame that the elephant died too - but I can't think of a more fitting end for the fella. Talk about Karma. The Universe always catches up with you in the end. Surely a nominee for the 2017 Darwin Awards!?
Good riddance. One less ... on the planet. It's just a shame the elephant died, too.
Karma, just a shame it didn't happen sooner!
Poor elephant...
Thank the lord, I don't care who you are I don't care how good of a person you are, hunting is not a sport, killing countless of these animals is sick, if you need to hunt for food do, if you hunt for your own pleasure well rot in hell you sick, sick person.
It's to bad that the other murderers (so called hunters) weren't under her as well when she fell. Pity...

Psychopath
I really like the culture where people are respectful towards animals. They need to eat their meat to live but they don't waste and don't kill just for fun.
The poor elephant died though, good on her for taking one of them with her
so sorry that elephant died. as for this guy....if it had happened earlier would've been better, few more elephant lives would be saved
Sport hunting? Pfffffffft please. That's not 'sport'. Using a high power rifle with a scope is not a sport. Use a regular old wood bow and arrow or a knife and then get back to me. With that said, I'm not at all sad at his passing. The elephants passing, however, is a tragedy. Too bad the d-bag didn't die sooner, so that the other animals didn't have to die too.
What can I say..? That elephant is a hero.
Wait, where is the picture of the dead hunter? I mean, it's a trophy as another, he lost, we should exhibit his body as he exposed the bodies of the animals he killed. And let him rot in the sun, I'm pretty sure there are some hyenas and vulturs hungry not far... That said, when can we read another article about another dead piece of shit? NEXT!
This guy had hundreds (thousands probably) of pictures of dead animals, so-called Exotic Creatures, he bragged about killing. And he took people on tours, after they paid him $10,000, so they can shoot a tiger, lion, and such. For some reason, no one here has any sympathy for him. Go, figure.
Viva our Elephant! They too are fighting back! How dare hunt such beautiful animals!
Would have like a picture of him dead not all the elephants. Sickening people killing for the thrill, cowards, all of them, dam cowards!
Good for him..scumbag preying on helpless animals for money. We should hear more news like this
Fine. I hope this puts every other evil bastard off hunting. Just sorry another elephant died too.
a bit of justice at last!
This is called karma.
Good fuc*ing riddance!
Yay!! Except I'm sad the elephant died :(.
Animals know what's happening and what has happened. If I were in charge, I'd make these wimps spend just 20 minutes in the wild among the animals, no weapons. See how long it takes for these 'hunters' to wet their pants!
KARMA AT IT'S BEST!
Hope he goes straight to hell, evil bastard.
what goes around - comes around...
Karma at it's finest.
It's interesting reading this comment thread, 50 years ago hunting was completely accepted and not controversial in any sense. Today it seems it is so barbaric and cruel that anyone who hunts for pleasure deserves death. Wonder if in 50 years a story about a man killed by eating eating bad pork will provoke a similar reaction. After all pigs are intelligent social animals, capable of comprehending and feeling pain and suffering, just like these elephants, and we don't really need to eat them. Their are many alternatives, we eat them because it gives us pleasure, just like this hunter.
I am glad that he died
There should be hunter animals for hunter humans
That's what you call karma for the hunter sad that another elephant had too die xx
Karma happens
Those ivory tusks are illegal !
Did he care? obviously not. Siccko.
Good riddance.
That's what he gets, dumbass shouldn't be shooting animals that are endangered!
Attacking from the side....clever girl!!!!
I'm outraged that hunting for 'sport' still isn't completely banned. He got what he deserved.
AS A GUN OWNER, AND A HUNTER.. I FRIGGIN DESPISE GAME HUNTERS..
Exactly, killing for food purposes or for over population is one thing, but killing those animals just for sport/for fun is disgusting.
Haha...good
Hooray!!!
What goes around comes around .wonder it someone will stuff his head and put it on their wall
He got what he deserved! Too bad the elephant had to die. All trophy hunters deserve this!
That person deserved it.. poor animal..
Serves the prick rjght. I'm sad to hear that the elephant died there are one of my favorite. This elephant died a hero. One less hunting prick in this world. RIP SWEET BABY
poor poor ellephants cant live in peace , great one hunter less, why arent these kind of people banned I thought poching was illegal now. go elephants what a nasty way to make a living just for a trophy not food, thi stinks
Good job baby girl. Sorry you had to die, but you glad you took this scum with you.
Shame that the elephant was shot
Poetic Justice... For ALL the animals this hunter has killed. Idiot. The animals are just minding their own business... Happy he won't do it again. :D
i would love to see see his crushed skull with an elephant and a lion standing beside it
that last photo really captures what an azzhole he was. he was proud of that?
Yay so happy the elephants killed their poacher
when the ice cream licking back. poor animals ,feel sorry for them but no sorry for those murderers....
got what he deserved... should happen more often
thank you for existing karma ! R.I.H Mr. Botha R.I.H stands for rot in hell i hope your kids will some day understand what a piece of garbage u were
i thought big games are endanger species.
karma
not sad....
Am I the only one is who quite glad that he went out this way.. Think of all the pain he caused those animals.
You're not the only one Lucybaby. Karma is unforgiving.

fuck you he had a life
So did all the animals he killed. And unlike him and his species (human), elephants and all the Big Ones are endangered.
If that's how you feel, but he killed those animals for sport, not for a reason that benefited anyone. If he wouldn't have gotten near them they wouldn't have charged, then he wouldn't have had to shoot it. He was the cause of the circle of events. Elephants are ENDANGERED, and so are a good chunk of wild cats in Africa so you can cuss me all you want. But FUCK YOU have a great day :)
So did those animals, most of them are ENDANGERED might I add, so he just helped extinction a little bit by killing those animals, when you're whining in ten years about elephants being extinct well I dunno what to tell ya.
Same with all those animals he killed. You know animal are not doll right?
Really u shithead
I can't say I feel sorry for the guy. Not at all. I only feel sorry that poor elephant died...
I offer my sympathies to the man's family but I disagree with what he did and the way he died is just. I also send my sympathies to the elephant's families, they are sentinent, brave and beautiful and deserve full lives, WITH their tusks intact!
sorry NO feeling sorry for the scum it should happen more often
Never has there been a better day in hunting than the day this happened. Dear Elephant your death was not in vain.
Theunis Botha's head should be stuffed and hung on a trophy wall...
So, is the family going to have him stuffed and mounted?
I feel sorry for the elephant, hope he rots in hell
well done elephant rest in peace
Shame the hunter's guns didn't jam, and that the elephants didn't trample the whole lot of them to death and get away unharmed by the scum that call themselves brave hunters. Doggamned cowards.
too bad the elephant didn't land on the other POS hunters. Trophy hunting should be considered a form of genocide and prosecute those countries that still allow the practice.
Trophy hunting sucks
Good but I am on the bridge of tears because the elephant died
Best news in years! I hope many more die similar deaths!
He deserved it, such a shame that the beautiful elephant had to die the way she did. Maybe we should gather all the hunters and put them in the wild where all the animals roam and let them have no weapons then we would have a sport and then they would know how hunted animals feel and as the saying goes let the hunter become the hunted

LOL I have absolutely no sympathy for this moron. Good riddance to bad rubbish as the saying goes.
Animal activists eh? Tell me how loving and caring you are toward your fellow humans. Your argument isn't best communicated through hate
I agree
He got what he deserved. No one should kill an elephant or endangered species, hunter or not.
Finally some good news today!
1human dead 50 elephants saved
He got what he deserved...
Don't you just love it when a story has a happy ending ! ?
So sorry to hear the elephant had died!!
I honestly don't get how any type of hunting is considered okay
Oh Noooo! Karma for the hunter, blessings for the elephant trying to stop the carnage, so brave. *having problems posting (sure it my duh) H
So sorry for the poor elephant. For the man, well shame on him till the last! The world is a better place without macho-wannabes like him!
good job karma
he should had been killed long ago! karma will find the rest of the hunters!
I wonder if someone will stuff his head and put it on their wall. Turnabout is fair play
Elephants have a remarkable memory. So the 4th one may have recognized the Hunter as an elephant killer.
Elephants have a remarkable memory. The fourth one might have recognized the Hunter as an elephant killer.
good to see another sport hunter get what they deserve.
He is a disgrace to the human race.
The table have finally turned! Good! Too bad that Elephant had to die.
lets hope some one from that goverment reads all theses coments and does something OR DOES the goverment get some of the money . just crap all around . like the guy who shot the lion with a collar on pity he didnt get eaten by the lion first.
serves him right
My condolences to elephants family, I'm sure he'll be deeply missed...
She...
Trophy hunting is wrong i think. Especially endangered animals
This is mean and selfish but he seriously deserved it. I mean, it would have been better if both hunter and elephant survived but if I had to chose one, it would be the elephant. Though in this case both died.
He deserved it
I hope his family will not Come here to read comments . So he is dead now and he never kill animals again. Hope he have not a son who follow
There better not be a fund to raise money for his burial or family. The photos in this article do that hunter a dark epitaph which will I hope haunt his memory forever. SO sad for all the animals he and his touring killers killed. The USA outlaws travel for human trafficing or sex crimes; when can we ban it too for "sport hunting" and not allow "sport hunters" into the USA without arresting them on crimes against nature.? THERE, that's a travel ban I could get behind! Glad he is gone and I hope all his minons follow him to hell.
I agree that I hope his family doesn't see these comments--it's sickening to see the way people value animal life over human. I don't agree with the senseless killing of animals, but what happened is a tragedy, and it's a shame that human life was lost.
KARMA IS SUCH A BITCH..........once you have shown the World what a POES you are; BEWARE ~ Karma will pay you back!!! As you sow.......so you will reap!!!
What kind of fuck tard kills a beautiful animal and is proud of it. GRRRRRR Karma doing its work.
Fair enough!
Wish him to rest in Hell not in Peace .. How many innocent animals he killed just for fun !? Sorry for that governments who give permission to kill innocent animals >..
Hunters are pieces of shit. They use "conservation " as their badge to kill helpless animals, yet the pieces of shit all smile in pictures with their kill. War the elephant who crushed this worthless bitch. ! Sorry the elephant died minding its own business but least he took out one of the weakling biatch hunters
Hunters are just murderers! How can it be fun or sporty to kill one of God’s beautiful creatures. Guy got what he deserved but poor elephants and others. The Bible says God will hold us accountable for each drop we shed of his animals blood.
Where's the picture of his dead body?
i love happy endings.
Justice. too bad she couldn't also fall on the guy who shot her! I thought we are protecting them!
Condolences to the family...the elephant family.
Absolutely disgusting man. It sickens me to see a killer like that pose beside his kill. Why was he not in prison? If you take a human like that, you are locked up. It should be the same for all animal abusers and poachers - the scum of the earth. This monster should have been thrown away a long time ago - but so glad karma finally found him. May all those animals he murdered be at peace.
Well done Mamma elephant, you did not die in vain. Sadly this is only one hunter dead.
congratulation Theunis Botha, you deserve it.
Disgusting.....how can anyone do such a hateful thing to such a majestic creature
I don't how hunting is fun.
yes! that's the reflection of world . death for some one who cause death!!!
KARMA!!!!!
See You in Hell Bastard!!!!
One fewer murderer. God.
Barvo brave elephant! That mofo well deserved it! Hope it will be a lesson to all other asshats who hunt! Grrr.
Hunting to stay alive is ok. But hunting for fun? Kill'em all. I'm not sorry.
Oh Noooo! Karma for the hunter, blessings for the elephant trying to stop the carnage, so brave.
Finally, some good news today.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Whatever you may believe, a form of karma will come get you.
Serves him right! Karma is a bitch!
That's what you call karma! So many beneficial animals needlessly losing their lives
*beautiful
All animals except humans, of course. We are not beneficial at all to the environment and to other species.
Beneficial too! All animals have an ecologic function within their habitat. Elephants open up pathways that other species use to migrate:)
I have one question for this post and similar posts though...do you 'like' or 'dislike' them?
Karma is a bitch, isn't it??!!
Good riddance
I'd say Karma was served
Karma.
Karma.
MOTHERFUCKING THEUNIS BOTHA! HE DESERVED IT, TOO BAD HE DIDN'T DIE SOONER. I HOPE HE IS ROTTING IN HELL FOR ALL THE ANIMALS HE KILLED AND GETTING RAPED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. FUCKING LOSER.
KARMA...
I know I'm going to get downvoted for this opinion, but I think it's disturbing how a lot of you people seem glad that this person died. Sure, what he was doing was absolutely awful, but I think this is a little extreme. Especially those of you who say every hunter ever should die a horrible death. If you say that, you aren't any better than they are.
I'm not saying he deserved to die, I'm saying he's sick, he got what was coming, how many animals did he kill? How many lives did he just snatch away? These are endangered beautiful animals, oh no maybe he didn't deserve it, but circle of life.
Erin, you say what he was doing is absolutely awful. Why is it hard to understand that people feel good that this is justice and this awful behaving person got what he deserved? In these situations the animals are considered innocent in defending their family and the particular human's are guilty of heinous, selfish, cruel killing. People are not glad when good people die but may feel a joyful relief when a bad person receives his due, but certainly I would be even happier if the man had changed his ways and lived in a way to earn respect and good appreciation. He didn't change though, he leads people to hurt and slaughter important members of my extended family so I'm glad he's been stopped, still if there are souls, I hope the best for him.
I agree with you, the statement does seem "a bit to the extreme" and I wouldn't make it myself. While the maker spoke their feeling and wish, my opinion is they're venting about an issue that's important to them, it does not contain a threat or action so I don't have a serious reaction to it. If all the hunters died then there would be no more suffering caused by their activity.
Someone just said "I'm ECSTATIC that he's dead. I wish ALL the hunters would die". That is the kind of person I am talking about. I know a lot of people on here are not like that, and I agree with THOSE people, but there are others who are taking it a bit to the extreme
We got enough humans on this planet. As for lions, leopards, elephants, etc...not so much.
Exactly.
Erin : you ask "why you think killing humans is better than killing animals". Well, here is the answer for my own person. It's not better per se, but if you're really blood thirsty, go fight someone with your bare hands, in your own species, someone that understands what is going on and can defend himself accordingly. Not some innocent animal who stands no chance because your tiny dick is cowarding behind a sniper rifle 100 meters from the soon to be dead animal.
He's a piece of shit. I wish his friends had died too. There are so few elephants and plenty of people in the world; we might as well thin out the assholes.
Oy, remind me never to make a comment on topics like this ever again. There's a whole lotta hate
Internet comment threads are in general terrible places to have a civil discussion. Thanks for trying, if you want some comic relief google 'Ken M'.
This got repeated too many times. Whoops
Im ECSTATIC that he's dead. I wish ALL the hunters would die
Erin, when you heard that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, were you saddened or were you glad that he couldn't cause any more harm?
Erin, I totally agree. We should not be gleeful about someone's death, regardless of who they were.
Im so sad that a lion just didn't rip this prick to death before he had a chance to kill his first animal.
Piece of shit deserves to die. Sad the elephant had to die too.
I laughed out loud! I’m so glad that piece of shit is dead! I hope he suffered and begged for mercy!
I feel sad for the elephant. I feel good for the death of this human scum
Life is a boomerang, what you give is what you get.
just fair, why kill the animals? for their trunks? are you even worth killing for your hair? is your family worth killing for their teeth? so why kill animals that way? it is not a game, it is life that you are taking.
just fair actually, killing animals if not for food why would kill them? for their trunks? are you even worth killing for your hair? stupid people.... it is not a game, it is life that your taking.
Good!!! Karma was sick of his shenanigans!
So sorry for the elephants and to bad all hunters didn't die.
Justice for elephant, leopard and other animals that were murdered by big game psychopat
That group of elephants is / was a family. Now they have to grieve and cope with the fear of more hunters coming.
I hate trophy hunting. If you're hunting to feed your family then fine, I have no problem with you. But if you're hunting because you think it's fun to kill things and just because you get a thrill of hunting something that could kill you just as fast as you could kill it well...... I pretty much just think you're a psychopath. Turn about is fair play dude.
Put hunters on an island and let them kill each other. And people still not listening about extinction, Its going to HAPPEN
Kharmas a bi-otch
The elephants and other big game died senseless deaths, game hunter got what he deserved.
One less jerk in this world 💩. I am so sorry for the elephant 😢
That man and his hunters deserves this....why the fuck would you hunt innocent animals just for money??!!!! I'm so fucking angry at these kind of people....
Let me add to my last comment pls. I do not think ALL hunting is bad. Man has to eat and hunting for what you need to eat is natural in the order of life. It is this "hunting for Sport" that I decry. Why do you think the wearing of furs went out of style? Because we are a people deemed it wrong and unethical. So it is to kill just for sport or a trophy.
I think its great! Terrific! Wonderful news! So happy that this awful man meet his Karmic fate so justly! I am only sadden that the poor elephant had to die to for this to happen. I had thought that the hunting of elephants had been prohibited, along with other hunting of the big game animals! May all these so called Big Hunters meet the same fate as this bloody sod!
Hunt like a coward, die like a coward. Unfortunately elephant died also.
Killing animals for pleasure :(( They also have right to live.
karma is a bitch sorry for all the animals he got away with i was always taught if you kill it needs to be for food to feed your family animals are god gift to us
well its the worst and worst act, what he did for only his enjoyment, such a shame ;(
Jjust tranquilize them not kill them you idiot poachers
Youi animals...you killers...you monsters...I wish you could burn alive here on earth. You piece of shitty people...you can't be considered animals...rational or irrational. You're nothing....poor spirited human not being... If I could I would shoot you all...and prevent you to live among other humans and animals...You fucking killers. But I do believe in the maximum: what goes around comes around. Fuck you all you fucking animal killers
GOOD! It's called karma!
You are bastard.
It's a fair game the animals die so they can enjoy killing them so he has to Pay the highest price to die and it's a waste of LIFE.
Good I'm glad he's dead. One less piece of shit in the world who thinks big game hunting is a sport. I'm really sad about the elephants ;(
Typical selfish Human. With all the Hobbies out there you do something so selfish as to proudly take pictures with an endangered and emotionally complex, and amazing creature such as an elephant. And for no other reason except for sport? They should give hunters/ killers of exotic animals the same sentence as if they killed a human. This is sickening, disturbing, and grossly unfair and selfish on behalf of these poor animals. I feel for the guys family but I regret saying he deserved it.
They're an endangered species you PRICK. Does he realize that? Do you know how empathetic and beautiful those creatures are???? Or that they mourn their lost ones? Or that they love? You don't need to be a crazy animal loving peta person to know this. Have some goddamn empathy UGH
I thought elephant hunting was banned everywhere? But of course if you pay the right people the right price, you can hunt anything. Too bad but ...serves him right. Elephants are hunters too.
Unfortunate.
I hope there will sent to hell , i just , that i could do the same and more to them , does fucking evil monsters
Poor Ellie. Thank goodness the evil hunter can't hurt anyone anymore.
Got exactly what he deserved.
Great news!
Instant karma at its best
Karma
Hunting for the joy of it? I will never understand these people nor will I ever wish to be associated with someone like that. I wish this hunter could have stopped killing innocent animals before they were crushed by one. This hunting 'sport' needs to be stopped because I'm sure the people he was with will continue to do it along with many others.
Good, another vile human removed from the planet
What a shame to lose such a beautiful animal. I've never understood killing a living being for fun.
What an eg why did you do that I CANT STRESS TO YOU ENOUGH WHAT A HORRIBLE THING YOU HAVE DONE
good for the bastard
It's awful but I don't agree with posting the story. I completely disagree with killing animals and hunting for fun and everything, but a man died and his family - whether they liked his hobby or not - are mourning. I would not post this.
Good riddance, too bad he didn't suffer.... asshole!!
Its a huge shame that the elephant died! This guy spent his whole life killing the beauty that creates us! He got what he deserved! Those elephants are smarter than we are and he found that out the hard way.lol.
Shouldn't be hunting these animals in the first place, many of them are becoming endangered.
Anyone who hunts for sport deserve to die this way..keep your shit about game parks helping conservation
Thanks god he's dead. It's sad that an elephant's life was lost. But hopefully, many animals will be spared now.
Deserved to die, just as all cowardly hunters of innocent animals that kill for fun do. Gutless scum, join the army and shoot at people that can shoot back.
Well Done Elephant!
hunter hunted....!!!!!!! great!!!!!!!
Revenge is sweet.
Hurrah the hunter got his just desserts.
he deserved it
PAY BACK
Good riddance. I am only sad he didn't die sooner.
He got what he deserved.
So sorry about the elephant :(
Good
Hunter deserved it, or worse. Why this is news though is beyond me.
Hunter deserved it. Why this is news is beyond me.
Too bad, I guess he got what he deserved.
I honestly hope that a majority of this comment section is being sarcastic. While I do not agree with the senseless killing of animals, human life should always be valued above animal.
Why are people happy that the hunter died? This man had a life and a soul, and possibly a family.
I agree 100%. It's sad to see so many people place more value on animal life than human :/
no words....karma's a bitch!!!
He got what he deserved and I wish this upon all hunters..
He got what he deserved and I wish this upon any hunter...
E que seu lugar no inferno está bem guardado !! E que seu lugar no inferno seja bem guardado !! And may your place in hell be well guarded !!

這些惡劣的獵人都該下地獄, 死前也應該得到逞罰！
Elephants are beautiful creatures, human life is also important. I can't understand the enjoyment of killing such beautiful majestic creatures. I wish the death of a human life would end the hunt of elephants. This is a sad story that probably won't make much difference.
Karma
Now he knows what it feels like to be hunted to death. Oh wait, no he can't, he died.
He deserved to die and his family deserve him being dead. To be part of a family with a monster like him, means they're monsters too. Cunts.
Karma is a bitch!
Lol
I hope he rots in hell.
I just thought how bad he is but the I remembered the amount of meat I have eaten in last days...
Rest in hell, Botha. I feel sorry for the elephant. It's a stupid way to die.
So, a tie?
they are so stupid and they are proud for that ,i hate you hunters !!!!
Good. What a disgusting human. 1 nasty hunter down, many more to go. #teamelephant

I hope that his death was long enduring and cruel. This dirty shit deserves to die most cruelly for killing such beautiful endangered animal
Karma is a bitch. He killed animals for no reason and he was killed by them. Shame on the elephant killed, on the animals he helped killing and on the poor kids left without a father. I've a split emotion, although I think he had it coming...
There is a very specific word beginning with C that decides this nasty human being! What goes around comes around!
Karma is a bitch. He killed animals for no reason and he was killed by one of them. Shame on the elefant that died. on all the animals he killed and help killing and on the poor kids left without a father. Honestly I've a split emotion, although I think he had it coming.
I honestly hope that the majority of these comments are sarcastic. While I do not agree with the senseless killing of animals, human life should always be valued above animal. If not, there is something seriously wrong with our humanity :/
Oh FFS. I can't believe the comments here. Big Game hunters pay for the protected areas and sanctuaries. That's where a lot of the conservation money comes from. Overall they increase populations. Look, I've been vegetarian for nearly 20 years and I don't even kill a bug if I can help it, and even though I hate the thought of any animal being killed, I understand the importance of these hunts. I just hope that every single person cranky at this hunt doesn't eat meat or else you're a humungous hypocrite. You'll eat a McNugget while talking about what a shame it is to kill animals. Oh, wait, it's a shame to kill the ones YOU like. I get it. *palmface*.
i am not against the hunter but...to kill them then to take picture..this is terrible
Hunters are shit heads
The Elaphant desevers to die for doing this sh**
What an a**hole. Really wish his death would happen in a loop so he would feel that pain again and again and again. Really sad that the elephants didn't kill all the other hunters along! All these hunters deserve this same kind of death!
He deserves what he got. There is no 'sport' involved with this, it's merely a little man with a small penis trying to puff out his chest and pretend he's a man. But he's just a coward, like all big game hunters. piece o' crap.
All articles on this kind of subjects are loaded with hatred in the comment section. Not only on BP - anywhere on the internet. Do we really thirst for blood as bad as these guys we loathe? I agree. They're cowards. They stoop about as low as our species can. But I don't agree with the victory dance around a man's corpse. Whatever the man's history. And are we really in a position to judge whether Karma did it's job right or not? This is not coming from religion or any type of activism. I believe it's just common sense to feel sorry for both the animals he tortured/killed and the man himself. I can't say if it's good or bad that he died this way. I can only see it as nature's way of spitting out what doesn't help it grow. Which, most probably, it will ultimately do with all of us if we keep the same direction.

I'm more interested in whether or not he was hunting legally or not.
The tusks he is posing with are from a big tusker (particularly big male elephants).There are only few left,they are protected, so-illegal

So your source in defence of game hunting is a game hunting agency that sells hunting trips. Not biased at all. Surely no marketing involved

Was he hunting on a reservation, thus helping the population by paying big bucks for support or was it in the wild?
Yes, people jump to, "hunters are evil". If you eat meat, you support an industry that kills millions of animals. I don't agree with hunting, but it's no more evil that killing millions of cows. In addition (as stated above, these hunters often pay thousands of dollars which goes to conserving the land these animals live on. Without it, much of the habitat would be destroyed.
But aren't Elephants near extinction*?
fuck you eat a steak
False:most money goes to corrupted officials,not conservation. Also the habitat was there long before us. Humans destroy it, not wildlife.

If the hunt is sanctioned to prevent overpopulation then I'm all for it. It is nice to know that the process is not like shooting fishing in a barrel. Also, that none of the elephant goes to waste. Consider this as opposed to poaching where the ivory is taken and the elephant carcass is left to rot.
"none of the elephant goes to waste"lie. Many do because are killed too far away from human settlements,the African heat makes them rot fast
