Why link to a nine month old story? Because I would not celebrate a piece of shit's demise without context...

It seems the critters have hired some protection.
I've only one word:

Good.

Score one for the elephants, their ivory is in high demand in China. The second is eco-terrorism, killing trophy hunters which is just plain murder.

“Live by the sword, die by the sword.”
Seems to me big game executioners lie to themselves when they think they are celebrating a human ritual of hunting dangerous game to bring meat and prestige back to the tribe. There is no competition in shooting large animals from a jeep with a high-power rifle and scope. That is an execution, plain and simple. Therefore it’s not without some irony that this white man was himself executed out in the wilds. Hunted, as it were, and stripped of his prized-possessions then leaving his rotting carcass for the scavengers to consume like an elephant or rhino.

Power corrupts... We are becoming a danger not only to ourselves but to the planet as well. The Chicxulub asteroid had no choice. Part of “his” grand design. No more big asteroids? We'll just act like a big ass and finish the work.
I am learning to doubt that we can change.
