Is This true ???

 I just saw this on Face book and wondered.

Yes it is true sadly. Happened around 2009.

"

ROBERT BORSAK went to northern Zimbabwe to hunt elephants. On a two-week trip he killed several, including a bull elephant he shot in the head from a distance of six paces.

"My reflexes took over as the rifle fired … he went down, as if in slow motion," writes Mr Borsak in an article entitled Bulls in the Rain posted on the internet. "It was awesome. He did not know what had hit him."

Back in Australia, Mr Borsak has bagged another prize. The big game hunter and former vice-chairman of the Shooters Party is being paid $342 for each sitting day as chairman of the Game Council of NSW, one of 58 quangos which operate under the Primary Industries Minister, Ian Macdonald."

I am just shocked that this is happening in this day and age, more shocked that this is a australian and him boasting about it 😞

yep, its true 😞

I wrote him an email saying how un impressed I was with him, he replied saying the elephant was a rogue,a pest.and he was doing the village/ villagers a favour.

whatever - you still bragged about it, and Im pretty sure there are parks where rogue elephants can go.

The rogue was on the other end of the gun not the Elephant, just makes me feel sick

What a disgusting excuse for a human being, and a crying shame that abortion can't be made retrospective. 😞

these guys will be shooting in 12 national parks in a 'trial' run by the nsw government very soon.  allegedly for pest control, they like terms like that, and 'rogue' when it comes to large pachyderms.  older bulls can be dangerous however.
