Quote: Tough all round that one. Need to also feel for the guy who shot the animal. Would not be feeling too good about it.
Realistically if the victim has already being held up in the attacking elephants trunk, he may already have been dead, or injured so badly he would die.
Thhe other guy might feel badly, but what else could one do? wait for the elephant to smash his body down and turn it into mincemeat. Or remove limbs off the torso. For all we know this may already have happened anyway. Got to shoot and hope for the best for the victim.
The story probably does not tell the whole story and certainly not a blow by blow account of what happened. As is proper and decent in professional journalism, not to give such a graphic account.
