Posing with his kill
Latest news has it that less than three months after Cecil the Lion was shot dead, a
German hunter has killed a large elephant with 122 pounds tusks in a game park
in Zimbabwe.
The elephant is thought to have been the biggest elephant
shot in living memory when it was killed on October 8 in Gonarezhou National
Park in south-east Zimbabwe.
The majestic animal's tusks weighed 122 pounds and were so
big that they dragged along the ground, according to Johnny Rodrigues Chairman
for
Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.
Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.
The hunter is believed to be a German national, who
reportedly paid $60,000 (£39,000) for a hunting permit to shoot the colossal
bull elephant as part of an organised hunt. He was assisted by an experienced
hunter who acted as his guide on the 21 day hunting trip.
Pro-hunting groups have praised the hunter for the killing,
while conservationists have condemned the killing.
