An American millionaire big-game hunter has died after being crushed by a group of elephants during a hunting expedition in Gabon.

The was hunting yellow backed duiker which, A, are evidently insanely easy to hunt. So easy that you can evidently shine a light at it at night, walk right up to it, and club it to death.
They’re a vital food source for a bit part of central Africa.
And 2, they’re so heavily hunted that they’re at serious risk of endangerment.
I said something in another post about there being a chance this was a genuine conversation effort, but after doing some reading; no. This guy is just an asshole. He got justifiably trampled by elephants doing something for fun that the people of central Africa do every day to feed themselves.
