I did not read any further on that thread after viewing the video so I guess I had the same reaction as you. It broke my heart in a way. Unless an elephant is causing death and destruction I see no reason to shoot them. I personally have no desire to take beasts just for the sake of killing them. I also feel if you have an elephant problem there are more humane ways to take them down.

It is ok for other people to do what they do, you don't have to agree with what they do to support their rights though[:@]

I guess I am making no sense but I don't walk around with "save the elephant" signs but at the same time I would not participate in the sport of taking them. Besides I here they taste like spotted owl[X(]
