It certainly looks like an African elephant.

Why is she “going to jail” or “poaching”? Elephant hunting is huge and the main reason elephants are doing well is because of hunters dollars. It probably cost 30k to get that license.

I wish they would put her a$$ in jail!

She should be made to field dress it and eat all of it!
Killing animals for sport is just plain wrong IMO, especially ENDANGERED animals!!!! I don’t understand the pleasure of killing an innocent animal.

I don’t have a problem with folks hunting when a certain species is overpopulated and in danger of starving (i.e. deer hunting).

NOOOOO!

there are many areas that are inundated with Pachyderms and are legally hunted. It is a necessity is some parts of Africa.

Check your facts.

[Lee'sGhost]

No. It’s OK. She shot this one at the zoo.

Not really, African Elephants seem to only be endangered in countries where they are protected. Countries that have legal elephant hunting have plenty of them, and seem to be free of poachers also. Hunting is a management tool that helps keep the populations in check. Countries like Botswana have also used Government culling of herds, when hunters could not provide sufficient pressure on the herd populations.
