Unethical elephant hunt to be investigated

I watched the video before I knew there was a flap about it, no clue. My only take was that it didn't appear that either of the hunters had a brain much larger than a pea! Just from the danger standpoint. You cannot outrun a determined elephant. They could easily have become as Capstick once said about a deadly encounter with something. "the hunter was mixed up with enough top soil to start a modest tomato farm!" I don't see the ethical issue, and agree Namibia is getting a bit gun shy about publicity.
 
I presume if you shot an Eland or Gemsbok bull, Springbuck ram out of the herd on the open plains it would also be unethical. What utter nonsense.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
