CEO of godaddy kills elephant for self satisfaction.

Are you seriously making the claim that right vs. wrong is relative to the individual? We shouldnt hate on this CEO just cause he thinks differently from us? You think it is okay for him to kill elephants because he doesn't think it's wrong. Well ****** thought mass genocide wasn't wrong, so is that okay? I think most everyone can agree that certain things are right and certain things are wrong. There is a sense of morality instilled in all of us at a young age and I think we all understand that harming other people or animals without due cause is wrong.

1.) ****** has nothing to do with this.
2.) Morality is based on individuals.
3.) If the African government didn't want him to kill that 1 single elephant, they would not have issued a permit to do so. What do you think they did with that elephant? Do you realize how much edible meat there is on an animal that large? My guess would be that sure he got the satisfaction of taking down the largest land mammal in the world, but villagers and natives got dinner for a while.

I'm glad villagers got food. That's the best possible outome, it's better than the meat being wasted. But the end doesn't justify the means.

Well then you obviously haven't seen where your beef, pork, and chicken come from. Hell, even fish is farmed nowadays. Shooting that elephant was more humane then how most of those animals die.

+1 Sig worthy.

He was just hunting, nothing bad about that (unless you are a member of PETA, then you can gtfo.)

And I also lol'd at 1:24. yumad PETA?

Couldn't have said it better, great explanation

As I had said, I truly am sorry for shooting you guys down, but that's exactly my point. All those people you referred to... in their mind were doing great things. So to them, it was right/moral. What ****** actually intended to do [and you won't find this in most books but it IS a fact] is "clean up" the world. He along with numerous scientists are the reason we attribute lung cancer to cigarettes. They also made it a policy[or law can't remember] for society to eat healthy and be fit. He himself gloated that whatever progress was made was because he had quit smoking. His army was fed vegetables, grains, and vitamins which is why they were tall, and well built.

Edit: "Hi-Tech ******" in the history channel highlights this in more detail.

I'm not saying any of this is right, but these individuals don't think they are doing anything wrong. It's just the way things are, and try as you must, you won't get everyone on the same page.
Also, some of the news highlights that have been shown of slaughter houses are just horrid. They feed poultry until they can barely stand. Some break their legs just walking. I don't want to even continue, but that's here in our own backyard.
Hopefully now there are laws/rules against that kind of animal cruelty.

But you see? different people have different values, and yes Morals/values are set upon us from the start, but there's a differnece from person to person...[a serial killer obviously doesn't have the same morals as a person who wouldn't harm a fly]


I don't pick sides, nor do I criticize anyone's judgement.

I'm also not perfect but if I were to be taken out to hunt elephant in order to feed hungry people, I'd choose people over animals any day...

I actually live on a farm. I personally take animals to slaughter every year. I also hunt and fish on a regular basis. But these animals are not killed out of pleasure.
My problem is that the CEO killed the elephant out of sport and the villagers getting the meat was just an after thought, he didn't go there intending to kill animals in order to feed starving villagers. But I'm done arguing. I honestly don't care anymore. I sick of voicing an opinion on deaf ears. This is my last post in this thread. Peace.

To all of you so against this, did you forget what was on that pizza you ate tonight? Believe it or not that pepperoni came from an animal. If you're going to be against hunting kudos to ya, but you can't just pick out hunting in particular. If you're a vegetarian bravo (I think its perfectly okay to eat animals, circle of life.)

He didn't do this purely for sport. Did you not see the mass of people harvesting it? Which is more unethical? Killing 100 chickens to feed that crowd or killing one elephant? Get over it.
