The owner, Bob Parsons, pays to go and shoot elephants. - http://www.brettmorrison.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/6057... - look at him with his big happy face, he could choose to spend his time and money in so many ways and he chooses to go and shoot elephants.

Godaddy could shit rainbows all day long and I still wouldn't want to give them any money.

This is depraved. Elephants are one of only several species on Earth that pass the mark test[0], which is thought to indicate that they are self aware and conscious, sharing with us a quality of mind that used to be thought unique to humans.

Look into it a bit deeper. That was an elephant that terrorized a village in Africa. It was sanctioned to be put down, no different than a rabid dog.

He is very very rich, if he had particularly cared about protecting the fields rather than shooting elephants perhaps he would have paid for the installation and upkeep of a fence.

His own comment on the affair was "These people have literally nothing and when an elephant is killed it's a big event for them, they are going to be able to eat some protein." Now personally I supect that there are better ways for Bob to go and increase the protein in these people's diets, other than shooting elephants.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with assisting a village of poor Africans by killing an elephant.
