Also, maybe it's just me but anyone who shoots an elephant is a right arsehole in my books

well....if hunting is the mans lifelong passion..why not have portrate done...it could have been present from his dear wife or kids..... and shooting jumbos has been going on for a long time....the numbers are so high now if they arent shot they and everything else will starve...who are we to say its better they are culled to rot,than harvested for meat or indeed for trophy value...the income from safari will make huge contribution to conservation fullstop...
its no different to saying anyone who shoots a red stag is an arsehole....lets just 1080 poison them all instead.

I wouldn't shoot one personally but I stand by the picture's resemblance to something like this

Eww
