He has less value than an elephant...it doesn't kill to impress it's sadistic, materialistic friends. It kills out of necessity. It lives in unconvoluted harmony with the elements...something Buddhist monks spend their whole lives trying to achieve. This dude flew to Africa with the sole purpose of destroying for pleasure and trophy collection..a phenomenon that is uniquely human. If there is one species that is at odds with the flow of nature...it is us. We destroy shit for the sake of destroying it....or on a deeper, esoteric level, we despise god.
Natural law spoke when the elephant crushed his shallow ass. He invited his own demise...there is a beauty in that.

It isn't about protecting oneself. It is about knowing your place in nature. You say that killing for pleasure is uniquely human. This shows your ignorance. I've seen wolves kill caribou and moose and keave them to rot. Or just eat a tongue or asshole. Then leave the rest. Chimpanzees wage wars on other apes. Gorillas and baboons pluck birds. Cats, large and small, toy with their prey. You might have heard the phrase "cat and mouse". Animals kill other animals in absolutely cruel ways. Live in Alaska and you quickly realize nature is not a Disney movie and animals do not respond simply for your philosophical comfort in middle class America.
You say human and universal laws can be incompatible. Fair enough. My point is not that human laws point out mortality. Rather, game laws are designed to maximize the numbers of particular species. If he's lawfully hunting elephants, it means that game biologists determined that removing a certain number of elephants benefits that species. And the funds he paid to do that further benefit the species. Again, we can reasonably disagree whether such policies are ben facial or not. We can reasonably disagree about the best way to promote elephant herds. But it is a twisted **** that is glad a person dies simply because of disagreement about game management principles.
You say there is beauty in the elephant kill g this guy. No beauty but I admit I respect this guy for facing his mortality and risking death much like I admire a mountain climber who dies. But I don't rejoice in his death.

Then tell me how wonderful animals are to each other. Tell me how humans are different. Nature is red in tooth and claw. It isn't a bunch of bundle of sticks animals singing Hakuna Matata. And I respect someone with the balls to confront their own mortality vis a vis facing the real prospect of death while hunting large game far more than someone whose idea of danger is driving home from work every day.
