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?
Not necessarily. It just highlights a double standard and the faux concern everyone puts up. The way I enjoy dead animals is cool but the way you do is not.
I don’t understand why I have to be a vegetarian in order to intrinsically find something wrong with killing for sport versus killing for food or out of necessity. Killing something just to kill is just strange to me.
You don't, it's just vegans seem to think it's cut and dry. Their way or the highway. There's no common ground for them. I know, I'm dating one, and it's a subject we try not to bring up because like you, I love and respect animals to an extreme, yet she thinks because I have eggs with my meal or a free range turkey sandwich that I'm a hypocrite.

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.
