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.

Share on FacebookReal 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.
Load More Replies...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.
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.

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!?
It's to bad that the other murderers (so called hunters) weren't under her as well when she fell. Pity...
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.
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 s**t? 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.
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.
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.
That's what you call karma for the hunter sad that another elephant had too die xx
I'm outraged that hunting for 'sport' still isn't completely banned. He got what he deserved.
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!
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
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?
when the ice cream licking back. poor animals ,feel sorry for them but no sorry for those murderers....
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
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.

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!
Never has there been a better day in hunting than the day this happened. Dear Elephant your death was not in vain.
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.
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

He got what he deserved. No one should kill an elephant or endangered species, hunter or not.
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
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
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 c**p all around . like the guy who shot the lion with a collar on pity he didnt get eaten by the lion first.
Trophy hunting is wrong i think. Especially endangered animals
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.

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 >..
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.

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.
Justice. too bad she couldn't also fall on the guy who shot her! I thought we are protecting them!
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.
Barvo brave elephant! That m**o well deserved it! Hope it will be a lesson to all other asshats who hunt! Grrr.
Oh Noooo! Karma for the hunter, blessings for the elephant trying to stop the carnage, so brave.

That's what you call karma! So many beneficial animals needlessly losing their lives
I feel sad for the elephant. I feel good for the death of this human scum
Justice for elephant, leopard and other animals that were murdered by big game psychopat
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
The elephants and other big game died senseless deaths, game hunter got what he deserved.
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.
karma is a b***h 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
Youi animals...you killers...you monsters...I wish you could burn alive here on earth. You piece of s****y 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 f*****g killers. But I do believe in the maximum: what goes around comes around. F**k you all you f*****g animal killers
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 s**t 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 hope there will sent to hell , i just , that i could do the same and more to them , does f*****g evil monsters
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.
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
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.
Anyone who hunts for sport deserve to die this way..keep your s**t about game parks helping conservation
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.
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 :/

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*.

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.
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. C***s.
they are so stupid and they are proud for that ,i hate you hunters !!!!
Karma is a b***h. 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!

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 s**t deserves to die most cruelly for killing such beautiful endangered animal
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.
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' c**p.
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!
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

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 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
The elephants and other big game died senseless deaths, game hunter got what he deserved.
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.
karma is a b***h 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
Youi animals...you killers...you monsters...I wish you could burn alive here on earth. You piece of s****y 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 f*****g killers. But I do believe in the maximum: what goes around comes around. F**k you all you f*****g animal killers
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 s**t 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 hope there will sent to hell , i just , that i could do the same and more to them , does f*****g evil monsters
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.
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
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.
Anyone who hunts for sport deserve to die this way..keep your s**t about game parks helping conservation
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.
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 :/

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

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.
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. C***s.
they are so stupid and they are proud for that ,i hate you hunters !!!!
Karma is a b***h. 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!

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 :/
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 s**t deserves to die most cruelly for killing such beautiful endangered animal
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.
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' c**p.
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!
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
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...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.
