This magnificent, unknown elephant was taken in a successful, legal, ethical, hunt in Zimbabwe. The bull elephant had never been seen before, and likely would have died with no one knowing of its existence if the hunt had not taken place.
Mystery surrounded the identity of the elephant, which was estimated to have been between 40 and 60 years old, but had never been seen before in Zimbabwe’s southern Gonarezhou National Park.But its tusks, which touch the ground in a photograph taken moments after its shooting, confirmed its exceptional nature, weighing an estimated 120lb each.
Social Justice Warriors (SJW) are attempting to create a replay of the witch hunt of Dr. Walter Palmer, who successfully hunted a lion in Zimbabwe earlier this year. In the earlier witch hunt against Dr. Palmer, the emphasis was that the lion was known, had a name, was a draw for tourists, was taken illegally, and was not killed cleanly. Some of those contentions are true, some are uncertain or unknown.
What is known about the taking of the elephant is that none of the above apply.
The elephant was not known. It had never been seen before. It was not named. It was not collared. It was not a draw for tourists. It was taken legally, in a fair chase hunt, and killed cleanly and humanely.

The locals will enjoy all that fresh meat.
Yes they will. Meat is seldom wasted in Africa, except by poachers after ivory.
So any word as to what it tastes more like; beef or pork?
IMAGINE barbequed ELEPHANT ribs!!!
And it got eaten.
One bite at a time.

I don’t care what anyone says, but hunting down and killing these magnificent God’s creations FOR FUN ( and “SPORT”?!!! LOL!) is sick, deranged, and immoral beyond words.
lol - something like what Fred and Barney had on their plates!
Just one please....
Thought there may have been a Trent Lott sighting...
Don't anybody DARE let mere FACTS get in the way of a good 'social justice warrior' rant ...
Here are some descriptions of eating elephant meat:
“We had the foot thus cooked for breakfast next morning, and found it delicious. It is a whitish mass, slightly gelatinous, and sweet, like marrow. A long march, to prevent biliousness, is a wise precaution after a meal of elephant’s foot. Elephant’s trunk and tongue are also good, and, after long simmering, much resemble the hump of a buffalo, and the tongue of an ox; but all the other meat is tough, and, from its peculiar flavour, only to be eaten by a hungry man.”

Not really unknown, all his friends knew him as Bob.......
38 seconds Mr. Twain
or JUMBO
Also, a rogue bull elephant wouldn’t have been welcomed by the elephants who already live in that refuge. He would probably have started a war if we hadn’t killed him.
I wonder what will become of the tusks since if I’m not mistaken, the import/export of all ivory anywhere is illegal
If God didn’t want us to hunt them, why did He make us the greatest predators this planet has ever seen?
