Professional Hunter Ian Gibson, Zero. Elephant, One.

[sportage]

Professional Hunter Ian Gibson was squashed to death while big game hunting in Zimbabwe.
An elephant rushed and crushed Ian, probably believing Ian was a female elephant in heat.
I hope the elephant can scrape the crap off its foot without too much trouble.
As for Ian, poetic justice and God will return you back to earth as... an elephant stalked by ivory hunters.
Life is good!

The article referencing Kendall Jones seems fairly (read entirely) irrelevant.

9/10 these big game hunts help fund wildlife preservation - however, it'll be a cold day in hell when I condone the killing of elephants, given their rapid decline.

Trophy hunters suck. I have no problems with subsistence hunting on healthy populations, or culling when the natural controls are gone for a herd's health.

this one turned out as well as could hope...assuming his check clears. The reservations get money and one less dude killing endangered animals for no reason.

If Scientists figure out how to genetically cross an Elephant, Racoon, and a Stingray the planet might be in trouble.

:hmm:

J/K, seems like might be a future movie these days though.

 

[Markbnj]

If you're going to try to kill an elephant it's only fair that they get to fight back.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I'd like to have Gibson's head mounted so the elephant can hang it in his den.

 

[Ichinisan]

If he's ever successfully killed an elephant before, then his score is greater than "0."

The only score that matters is the last one.

 

[Ichinisan]

The only score that matters is the last one.

...even if the final score is 40-1 hunter.

the score matters to other people

nobody would remember manfred von richthofen if his score wasn't 80-1

death by elephantine sodomy. comical yet so tragic.

I think that's contradictory. Generally, that's what these trophy hunters are allowed to hunt: animals that need to be culled. This is especially true with lions where a pride has a lot of females, but only 1 male. Extra males mean cubs are killed, etc.; other males are driven off. Now, imagine any poor community in the United States. Not a good enough imagination - think poorer. Now, imagine that they need to get rid of something in their neighborhood. They can either just get rid of it, or someone is willing to infuse 10's of 1000's of dollars into their local economy for doing it for them. Win-win.

It really depends. The article says the elephant thought he was a female in heat. If he got fucked to death by a giant, relatively speaking, penis that has to be worth more points than a high powered rifle at a distance.

 

[LTC8K6]

He was trampled to death, of course. The elephant kneeled on him.

He was not hunting the elephant. He was tracking a lion for his client.

He shot the elephant, so it probably died.

People are confusing Gibson, the PH, with his client, the hunter.

i hope, in hell, elephants hunt him for eternity.

fuck this guy. i'm glad he's gone from this earth.

f**k this guy. i'm glad he's gone from this earth.

do you hope this for lions that hunt elephants too?

 

[eits]

do you hope this for lions that hunt elephants too?

no, because lions wear their watches on their non-dominant hands...

and because lions don't take down elephants for fun. they kill them to eat and survive.

by the looks of this fatass, he wasn't looking to score a meal and live another day.

Please stop spreading this lie, trophy hunting simply is not helping to conserve. I'm not saying there aren't people legitimately trying to achieve this, but they are the minority and are enabling a whitewashing of what has actually been taking place. It really is nearly as full of shit as trickle-down economics, the idea might make some semblance of sense, but it simply does not work in the real world due to the rampant corruption. African countries have started to outright ban trophy hunting because it simply has not at all helped. They're certainly not the only ones that are a problem, but I'm seeing way too many people who act like they are helping to save these animals when they are not.

And sorry but you're just wrong that most of it is people paying to cull problem animals. That is rare (due to the fact that problem animals are random and thus it's hard to setup a safari hunting trip in time to be able to do that), and even then the money is not actually going to help local villages in any meaningful way. Even plenty of the preserves that sell deals to be able to shoot old and lame animals are rife with corruption, so that ends up being a farce.

It's not like the world was rid of a Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer. There are thousands more professional hunters where he came from and not one single lion, leopard, elephant or water buffalo will be spared from being hunted and killed because of his passing.

one less is a good start.

the african elephant is scheduled to go extinct by 2050...

that's in 35 years...

and it isn't because of lions.

 

[brianmanahan]

no, because lions wear their watches on their non-dominant hands...

So the dude has one leg, but you really have to let yourself go to be mistaken for a female elephant. Maybe a condition called low T?
