Big Game Hunter Killed

[Downward]

How sad.

A millionaire US big game hunter was ambushed and killed by five elephants whilst hunting a small forest antelope.
Ernie Dosio, who owns a vast collection of exotic animal heads in trophy rooms back home, was trampled to death while on a hunt in the Lope area of Gabon.
The 75-year-old was being guided by a professional hunter in thick forest on a £30,000 stalk of a yellow backed duiker.
The vineyard owner has hunted elephants, leopard, rhino, buffalo and lion across Africa and back home in the US he has hunted almost every species of wild deer.
But his luck ran out last Friday when his hunt stumbled into a herd of five big elephant cows with a calf.
The startled elephant herd immediately charged Dosio and his professional hunter.

Shame he got to 75.

This is terrible. I hoped he would eaten by lions and go out slowly and painfully.

What have you got against lions...

He probably would have given the poor lions indigestion.

Sounds like he gave a lot of much needed money to conservation efforts.

He could still have done that and not shot things.

As a non-vegetarian I don't have any problem with killing animals but I can see why one would.

Exactly my thoughts, heart sank a bit when I saw that.

Good riddance.

Did he eat everything he killed?

The question should be - was everything he killed eaten?

I have visions of an elephant sitting in a wing chair, enjoying a glass of fine port while wearing a rather fetching smoking jacket with that on his wall.

The question should be - was everything he killed eaten?

Another question might be - Why does someone get so much pleasure from the celebration of the death of animals?

He wasn’t really “ambushed “ was he? I mean the elephants didn’t sneak up on him wearing camo gear, hiding behind trees, and using long grass as cover before jumping him….

I used to hunt and understand it to some extent. I stopped because the killing wasn't justified by the satiation of the primeval instinct. But I think that's your answer, primeval instinct.

Does that include the people on here celebrating the death of a human?
