Scroll up a few comments and you will see that this was not his first Elephant kill, but the 5th Elephant he has shot dead. He definately wanted to kill it for the sake of killing it.

I wish he would have spent the cash on making a decent commercial, instead...

Worst on television.

I hope you're proud of yourself Bob. It takes a real man to gun down a defenseless animal. Way to go daddy.

When mature bulls were introduced, the young trouble makers were quickly disciplined and brought into line by the no nonsense big bulls, and the rhino attacks ceased and order was restored.

Exactly. And the reason there were no adult male role models to guide them is because hunters like the idiot CEO killed them off. +1 to you.

Which shows how similar to humans they are. Their behavior is not innately fixed like with primitive animals, but very flexible.
Interestingly elephant societies are governed by females.

Which is expensive and provides no benefit other than removing that animal. With the solution that was applied, not only did it eliminate the problem animal, but it provided food for the village. Though by your position, it appears that you value animal life above that of human life, a common problem with animal activists.
