Sorry, I should have looked for the whole story. Shooting the elephant with a bow and arrow so it has to die slowly is pretty cruel though. I have nothing against hunting but that strikes me as an ego trip; when a well placed high caliber bullet will do the job very quickly.
Please educate yourself of the effectiveness of the bow and the arrow in taking game. Here are some highlight for you.
1) Arrow shot game die by bleeding only. There is no shock value as in a bullet. Therefore a properly placed arrows kill quickly and efficiently. (That is why this woman is to be commended for getting close enough to not miss.)
2) I would suggest you read an essay by Dan Quinlen called Deed Don't Die in Bed. Dan interviews several hunters that were accidentally shot with broadhead tipped arrows. The one common theme among them was that they found out they were bleeding before they knew they were shot. There are many stories where deer after being shot with a bow continue feeding not knowing they have been shot.
3) I know a lot of bow-hunters and can tell you first-hand that most kill very little game, compared to gun hunters. We are self policing our ranks to educate bow-hunters to wait for a sure killing shot. I personally have let hundreds of deer walk by because the shot was too iffy.
4) Also, you should know that the fastest way to be out of favor with the bow-hunting crowd is to not consume, or have consumed, the animal harvested. With a few exceptions most bow-hunters will not tolerate waste.
So your wholesale attack on bow-hunting is unwarranted.
"...a well placed high caliber bullet will do the job very quickly."
Same argument for a well place arrow.
