      Maybe googling why they do it was too hard I’ll explain to you. This elephant is known as an “old bull”, old bulls don’t allow the younger ones to mate, they fight them constantly and breeding drastically drops for their species.. besides these elephants not having the sperm required to make babies, they’re just halting the breeding process of elephants, so you have to take the old ones out,

      Ever thought about it not having anything to do with you? You get an experience hunting the largest and most dominant land animal om the planet. You're feeding the locals. Your contributing to anti poaching projects. You're contributing capital to the locals, which in return, result in the better well being of the local wildlife, and preservation thereof. Maybe you don't have to be the one to "get anything out of it." You're a hunter and don't understand the first thing about conservation.

      ​@@JDobrozsi1 False. Comments are turned off by CZcams when videos are restricted. They blur out their faces because activists are complete nutjobs who will do anything to dox a person and their family or even murder a human being over an animal. The animals culled on video are legally put down. and harvested for villages to eat. When animals become a nuisance or are a danger to the herd killing off the baby elephants they must be removed to preserve the herd. These animals are on a preserve. Please get the facts before you type some BS lie. Also, the hunter pays 100s of thousands of dollars sometimes over a million dollars to take the shot on the animal. That money goes back into the preservation of the animals, Why not have someone pay to shoot the animal and make money for saving the rest of the endangered species? One more thing. The money pays for security for the animals so that they can stop poaching and give jobs to the locals who are starving to death.
      One thing that amazes me is how ignorant you are. Because of the stupid phone you use to type your ridiculous accusations. Kills 1000s of animals every year mining for lithium to produce the batteries they run on. So unless you live in a cave without modern amenities, you're a hypocrite. But they don't count because they are out of sight and out of mind right? So, please, continue crying. We don't care.

      The license fees go to support thir conservation, so the more they are hunted the more there are some they become more wanted and better protected from poachers. Before they would be killed at random by locals but now there are so many thst they have b3come a huge problem for farmers and villages who can't do anything about it. They only hunt large bulls who have already bred many times over. Besides, hunting is natural and beautiful. It isn't painful to the animal at all really and they would die in a far crueler way anyway. We can't allowed them to reach carrying population either, because that would be cruel and cause massive damage and starvation. The whole situation is actually very good all around.
      On the other hand, rhinoceros are nearly extinct because nobody bothers to protect them. South Africa used to allow them to be managed on private ranches where the population exploded, but ended those 'racist' laws after apartheid ended. Private sport conservation is fundamentally good and moral, but even the government can help sometimes.

      @screwstatists7324 You do realise the elephant population dropped from around 25 million to 400,000 due to humans? In some countries there are only a few hundred left, even though you could find thousands in 1900. So saying "there are so many, they have become a problem for farmers" is just absurd. And these conservation strategies that you're talking about don't work half the time, you can find plenty of articles on that topic. Corruption and negligence makes these attempts futile. So executing elephants like that is nothing more than a sadistic past-time for rich men.

And so the forests and the wildlife was preserved for the main reason of rich peoples freetime activity’s. The reasons might be questionable but the results are evident.

      They are not mutually exclusive. A hunter can kill for food, support the only workable and sustainable conservation model in Africa, and have fun along the way. Remove hunting from the equation and the results are all too predictable: poachers move in to decimate the herds and there is no employment or meat for locals. Is that a better outcome than limited and highly regulated hunting?

Plus, killing a magnificent animal like that bull elephant for pleasure that surely has more knowledge of its wilderness and greater brain power than those who were determined to murder it. Subsistence and/or hunting for conservation purposes is totally understandable but even these should still be done responsibly. Thank you for your post.

    I just don't know how I feel about this. I'm trying to approach the issue objectively. I think my biggest problem with it is the actual hunting process. You just walk up on the animal and shoot it. As someone who has hunted his whole life, that just doesn't feel like hunting to me. Yeah, it was a great shot, and I'm sure the pressure was on. Still, I don't know. I know that elephants are dangerous., but I can't help but think that maybe we should just leave them alone. I don't know, I'm kind of torn on this one. Not to mention, he's an executive for an ammunition company. The Optics are just very poor here. But thanks for posting the video. Please know that I mean no disrespect. It's hard for my bias not to creep in here. I have a tattoo of an elephant. I just think they're amazing creatures.

      Appreciate your thoughtful note. For me it distills down to regulated hunting vs the alternative-poaching. Hunters take small numbers and fund anti-poaching efforts and that hunting benefits communities with employment and meat…poaching does neither.

    Let it be known that trophy hunting is pretty much the only reason that many of these animals aren't nearly extinct. The huge amount of money that trophy hunting brings in helps to fund the parks, the rangers, and in general all of the conservation of these creatures. And has been mentioned in other comments, the population control is essential to the health of the creatures. In some places where hunting isnt allowed, and where paching isnt a problem, the elephant population has become too dense, causing food shortages for the elephants as well as widespread disease. Hunting is essential to protect these creatures.

      @tommybuford6113 Před 3 měsíci +3

      They do that as to close the distance with the animal while it’s down. Although a Nitro express is a very large caliber, it never really hurts to have a follow up insurance shot/double tap when hunting one of the big five. Especially because those animals in particular are incredibly dangerous and very very hardy and tough. It’s best to hit the animal while it’s down so it doesn’t suffer but it also keeps you from tracking a wounded and dangerous animal through the bush and also stops it from charging should it recover. Lastly, although the bull was very big, the kill shot is still a relatively small target. Again, just insurance.

      The license fees go to support thir conservation, so the more they are hunted the more there are some they become more wanted and better protected from poachers. Before they would be killed at random by locals but now there are so many thst they have b3come a huge problem for farmers and villages who can't do anything about it. They only hunt large bulls who have already bred many times over. Besides, hunting is natural and beautiful. It isn't painful to the animal at all really and they would die in a far crueler way anyway. We can't allowed them to reach carrying population either, because that would be cruel and cause massive damage and starvation. The whole situation is actually very good all around.
      On the other hand, rhinoceros are nearly extinct because nobody bothers to protect them. South Africa used to allow them to be managed on private ranches where the population exploded, but ended those 'racist' laws after apartheid ended.

      The first explorers and settlers of Coastal California were American Indians. The most expansive European colonizations efforts were made by the Spanish. On September 28, 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and his crew entered San Diego Bay--the first Europeans to visit California. The land they named "Alta California" was occupied by diverse groups of native people who had inhabited the land for thousands of years.

      The Taliban absolutely demonstrated the infallible spirit to resist of the human animal. The arrogant, cowardly and racist Americans did not learn their lesson in Vietnam. Thus, they learned it again in Afghanistan. No animal is a match when a human confronts it from a distance with modern weapons. The only wonderful form of combat is human against human. I absolutely love the fact the white races are now slaughtering each other in Ukraine after causing war and genocide all over the third world in the last 500 years. Watch the fun. This war will hopefully eat up Europe again.

      In a 39-page report, the agency cited Zimbabwe’s progress in creating a sound management plan for its 82,000 elephants and evidence that hunting revenue is in fact reinvested into conservation. Well-managed trophy hunting “would not have an adverse effect on the species, but can further efforts to conserve the species in the wild,” the agency concluded.
