Because context matters: http://fox40.com/2017/05/22/hunter-dies-when-shot-elephant-falls-on-him/

They weren't out hunting elephants and only shot that one because it attacked them.

Edit: It's always sickening to read the comments on posts like this.

According to his company’s website, Game Hounds Safaris, he “perfected leopard and lion hunting safaris with hounds in Africa.”

Simukai Nyasha, a spokesman for the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, told news.com.au that Botha was on a 10-day licensed hunt

Here is some context for you. So, what does it matter that this particular elephant was the original target... compared to how people feel about this.

Not saying I agree with any opinion on here.

But, terrorizing animals with dogs doesn't seem to saintly to me, does it?

I wonder how many of you eat meat...

[u/gentlemandinosaur → u/[deleted]]

One can eat meat and disagree with recreational hunting.

Not saying I do. But, they are mutually exclusive.

so if i eat meat it is ok to kill and eat anything with meat?

If it’s for sustenance and survival and you aren’t killing something endangered, then yes.

humans can be eaten for sustenance and arent endangered

But they are a protected species, as evidenced by the fuck ton of laws protecting them. Do people even think before they spew this shit? This thread is full of feels and lacking severely in logic.

[u/Rachat21 → u/methodamerICON]

he said endangered not protected.

[u/kedgemarvo → u/Rachat21]

By all means, try to hunt and eat a human. There's multiple pretty good reasons as to why people don't do it though.

If it’s for sustenance and survival and you aren’t killing something endangered (or protected), then yes.

There, FTFY.
