elephants do a LOT of damage to farmers crops, and in some cases, whole villages, every year in africa- often these animals have to be shot, as there are not many ways to prevent this destruction in any effective fashion otherwise- It is not uncommon for authorities to enlist visiting hunters to kill rogue animals, as there is a shortage of skilled shooters and weapons that can do the job humanely, and there is benefit to be had from the proceeds of the money often paid for the privilege of such a hunt- so as it stands I see no particular problem with it, though turning it into a publicity stunt is certainly in poor taste...
