Endangered species like Elephants - what an a55hole.

I'd have to disagree with that mate.
Context, even if the outcome is technically the same.
Culling vertebrate pests is task, a job.
Hunting for food is feeding yourself.
Pictures of skinning or gutting animals in preparation for eating is education.
Posing an animal you took the life of with sunnies and a hat like you're "hanging out" in the 4x4 for a gag is juvenile BS.
It's this kind of cowboy s**t that casts a poor light on all over us and fosters the general negative leaning opinion the public hold towards sensible LAFO and shooting in general.
I don't really know anything the various population levels or environmental impacts of the different animals in Africa, I'm not talking about having shot either of the animals in particular. If they were clearing pests out of necessity, or hunting for food in a sustainable way that's fine, but that photo is different thing.
IMHO.
