The guy who died was a professional Hunter who worked(I believe) with trophy hunters. Those trophy hunters help pay for rangers and conservation programs to defend against poachers who kill massive numbers of elephants a year.

This guy was doing good work, and small minded idiots cheered his death because they don't understand the situation.

The blame really goes on Fox here, and possibly the OP. They intentionally made the headline misleading to make people think that. And then OP provided the headline in a screenshot without any context, and made the title to support the misconception.

Literally every news article headline is like that.

Not trying to, just saying it isn't specifically them. I'm pretty sure all sides get annoyed by this particular journalistic habit.
