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 realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
