It's a miracle there are ANY animals left in Africa.
I'm not for these big game hunts.. I think it's wrong, but I'm saying the article is way overboard and dramatized. They killed 3 animals between the two of them.. While yes I'd like to punch a fucker that kills an elephant like they did, it's still far from a killing rampage as the article presents..

I'm all for protecting the environment and animals. I'm also a realist in the fact, that I know this kind of thing has gone on for 100s of years and it still goes on today. Their hunting trip was nothing out of the ordinary, which is what the article should of presented..

Instead the article put way too much emphasis on this single hunt like it was some massive killing spree, instead this kind of thing happens over there quite often.. (I'm betting daily).

IMO the article was more about trying to villanize the two rich boys than to shame the actual practice of hunting caged animals...or hunting endangered or protected animals..
