Cant for the life of me think why Zimbabwean farmers woul need help from a rich white man to shoot an elephant. A lack of guns aint exactly a problem there, is it?

As for killing an elephant, I do probably find it offensive on an emotional level. But morally, I wouldnt justify it as any different to an American hunter who goes out and kills beautiful animal like a moose for fun? (or an English hunter who until recently chases around a stag with a pack of dogs until it drops dead of exhaustion).... all to me are unacceptable.
Hunting for food is acceptable to me
Hunting for fun/trophies to me is not.
