Karma - big game hunter has elephant fall on him

[packman]

This guy was a "hunter" who used pack dogs to flush out big cats so wealthy clients could shoot them.





A professional big game hunter from Tzaneen, Theunis Botha, 51, died on Friday afternoon during a hunt in Gwai, in Zimbabwe, when a member of his group fired at a storming elephant cow and the animal fell on him.

A source who didn’t want to be named told Netwerk24 that a group of hunters had gone for a walk on Friday afternoon when they suddenly came across a breeding herd of elephants.

Three elephant cows stormed the hunters and Botha shot at them. A fourth cow stormed them from the side and one of the hunters shot her after she’d lifted Botha with her trunk. The shot was fatal and as the cow collapsed, she fell on Botha.

21. +++ so true

[Siwsan]

3. I wonder if that elephant' spirit will continue to punish him, in the afterlife

[jimlup]

4. I'm sorry for the loss of the Elephant

can't say I'm sorry for the human death though.

[Hoyt]

5. Perfect.

[Kleveland]

8. I second that!

[SMC22307]

15. Same here. And as said below...

"good fucking riddance" to any and all elephant hunters!

[busterbrown]

26. Yep! old enough to remember that film.

6. Talk about a lack of situational awareness.

These "hunters" go "for a walk" and they just stumble unknowingly upon a herd of breeding ELEPHANTS?

Someone please enlighten me. When elephants fuck, do they draw the blinds, close the doors, and make sure to keep their voices down lest they bother the neighbors? I had no idea elephants could be such prudes.

[stevenleser]

11. I could hear elephants half a mile to a mile away when I was in Africa and I am untrained

My hearing is probably a little above average but stumbling upon elephants seems pretty hard to do.

[MrScorpio]

7. Yay, Team Karmic Elephant!

[demigoddess]

43. +1, karma is a bitch

and maybe a sister to that female elephant.

[BigDemVoter]

9. Good fucking riddance.

[stonecutter357]

10. good.

[PearliePoo2]

13. You know, I believe the elephants 'knew'... just 'knew' and they can sense evil and ill intentions.

I feel sick that an elephant died and I feel so bad for the remaining ones that will forever grieve for her.
They DO grieve...and they remember.
I hope this sadistic, bloodthirsty fuck suffered intense pain and misery before he died.

Kicking for Karma for the critters.

[busterbrown]

28. Your Comments?

R Right On!

[dhill926]

14. yeah well, that's a damn shame...

for the elephant...

[Historic NY]

16. Elephants always remember.......

[Ken Burch]

39. ...somewhere, Horton is smiling...

[SunSeeker]

17. Good riddance. Horrible that all those elephants were killed, per the article.

[malaise]

18. Fitting end

Byebye

[busterbrown]

29. Yea malaise..

but you forgot to wish him a nice descent..

[malaise]

33. Hegot that when the elephant hit him

[Doreen]

19. Good.

I wish the elephant had not died but at least she accomplished a final "fuck you" to asshole hunters.

[sandensea]

20. I'm just sorry they didn't get his two clients.

The clients are the true culprits in my book, since their money keeps the whole dirty business going.

[notdarkyet]

25. They were probably ooday and koosay. They love to big animal hunt. They have

Pictures of themselves on the web with a cheeta? Lion? They killed and also holding an elephant trunk they cut off from an elephant they killed.

[sandensea]

40. If they ever do something akin to the Hunger Games, I nominate Eric and Donnie Trump

And may the odds be forever in their DISfavor.

[Eyeball_Kid]

50. Despicable. Truly despicable. I can't say anything further. I just can't.

[sandensea]

56. And worst of all, too many of our fellow Americans admire cowardice like this.

Republicans see it as somehow "manly" - which of course says everything we really need to know about them.

[smirkymonkey]

22. Good.

Sorry the poor elephant died though. These people should be outlawed.

[sandensea]

23. And more good news form the article:

Botha was a good friend of Scott van Zyl's who was killed by crocodiles in Zimbabwe last month. Van Zyl, 44, was on a hunt at the Chikwaraka camp in Zimbabwe, when he disappeared on April 7.

His backpack was found on the banks of the Limpopo River and two crocodiles were shot during the extensive search for Van Zyl. DNA tests were done on samples taken of the crocodiles’ stomach contents, and it matched his.

Part of a Cat boot, similar to that which Van Zyl was wearing when he disappeared, was found in the stomach of a third crocodile which was shot on April 14. ···

[Duppers]

24. I don't believe in karma but am happy this asshole

Was killed.

I do think elephants are sacred, for lack of a better term. They are especially intelligent and empathetic beings.

These hunters should experience the terror of being the hunted.

[Alice11111]

57. You don't believe in karma. Nor do I. Glad the elephant

took him down though. Very sad for the elephants.

Often people put so much energy toward something they don't want, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Also, if you wait long enough, things usually change directions, but not always when we want or need it the most. Sometimes, there are random ironies.

On the other hand, often the bad guy or evil wins. It isn't always true that he will get his...but it makes people feel better.

God, Force, love, energy, however someone views it, isn't all powerful, sometimes evil wins...Nazi Germany.
Nometheless, we will attempt make the world a happier, better, safer place.

[Hulk]

30. Vengeance

What can you say, sad for the loss of the elephant.

Just what the fuck are these idiots thinking! Kill an elephant?....for what! G'damned idiots! Scourge of the earth. Good riddance!

[Alice11111]

61. The trophy, to put beside the bear, tiger, and lion heads,

At the vacation ranch or cabin. His friends can determine how big his penis is by the display. Even if he finds the bear hibernating w her cubs now, he can be the brave hunter. It's the same with sneaking up on the elephants w game hunters paid $100000 to isolate the elephants. Such brave warriors.

I would like to have international penaties of $1 million and 5 years in jail (for the guides, assistants, hunters, whatever, too), plus sanctions to the country of both the hunters and and their guides.

They sell these hunting packages, for $100k or more, telling the hunters in the brochures that there are too many elephants, and they will be helping to keep the population down. Unbelievable, I know, but the hunters justify their actions.

[RandySF]

31. Too bad it wasn't Donald, Jr.

[LOL Lib]

37. Exactly my thoughts!

[Alice11111]

58. I kept waiting for the Dems to go w this in a camp ad.

Revolting and hard to look at, but this is who they are. Love of animals crosses party lines. Repubs have their lap dogs. The one w Eric in the photo too justs speaks, Trump. Damage and destroy life and freedom.

These two DT adult childten are fair game
They were active in the campaign.

[oberliner]

38. A human being died

Please note that a human being lost his life.

[KatyMan]

41. A killer.

Killed for sport. No sympathy.

[Le Gaucher]

42. Human garbage masquerading as human died

There, I fixed it for you.

I would have called him Sub-human garbage - but killing other animals for sport, is uniquely human. So human garbage is appropriate.

[Crunchy Frog]

46. A monster died while doing something monstrous.

The death of the elephant was the real tragedy.

[Codeine]

49. Zero fucks to give for a big game hunter. nt

[tblue37]

54. He was cruel and would have continued his viciousness. The elephant was innocent.

This man's death has spared the lives of innumerable animals.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I don't mourn Roger Ailes, either.

[Alice11111]

60. The universe is a better place without this hunter & Ailes

[LanternWaste]

66. Other than simple self-righteousness, for what specific and relevant purposes?

"Please note that a human being lost his life..."

Other than simple self-righteousness, for what specific and relevant purposes?

[Coventina]

67. Oh please. The elephant was the much bigger loss.

In fact, every creature he ever killed was worth more than him.

Trophy hunters are scum.

(I apologize to scum, scum is actually better than that guy).

[Ken Burch]

70. A human being that devoted much of his life to killing.

And not killing out of necessity or in self-defense, but solely for the sake of money and ego.

I'm sorry for whatever pain his family is feeling, but there's little you can say for his "humanity".

[MFM008]

45. Loss is

A tragedy.




Of elephant.

[Maynar]

47. Good.

51. That's GOTTA hurt.

52. Good. nt

[VOX]

53. The punishment fit the crime.

This man will destroy beautiful creatures no more.

[IronLionZion]

59. Elephants are among the few animals who memorialize their dead

My condolences to the elephant's family and friends. I hope she lived a good life and they take care of her baby elephants if she has any.

[Ligyron]

62. Wonder what breed of dogs those are?

Maybe we could use some to flush out fat cats?

I think a dying elephant is going to fall on some politicians in the US.

on edit: They are Slovakian Kopov a type of hound.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

63. The death of that worthless scum brings me the kind of joy

I experience when a pitifully hurt dying bull gores a matador... hopefully to death.

[tavalon]

64. Yes, I am a bad person

I laughed.

[sellitman]

65. So sad.

That elephant dying it's so sad.

[inwiththenew]

68. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you

African big game hunting is inherently dangerous and he knew the risks involved.

69. "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature"
