Rainer Schorr, a real estate CEO, was named by three separate sources as the hunter who sparked global anger a…fter killing what is thought to be the biggest elephant killed in Africa for almost 30 years.
PETA has named the man believed to be the German hunter who paid nearly £40,000 to shoot one of the largest elephants ever seen in #Zimbabwe as a property mogul in Berlin.
#PETA in Germany offered a €1,000 (£730) reward to anyone who could identify the German #hunter photographed posing with the body of the huge elephant that was circulated widely online after the Telegraph revealed the animal had been killed as a #trophy on a private shoot.
In a case that echoes the furore that erupted after #Cecil the lion was shot by an American dentist, 55-year-old #Schorr paid $60,000 (£39,000) for a permit to #hunt a large bull #elephant.
Exposing the Big Game 
Making big money off the backs of these majestic creatures. What a travesty.
A wealthy banker from Berlin….of course!

Ugh. Schweinehund! (apologies to all schwein and hunds to be compared with this scumbag!) These people don’t get to where they are by being nice guys. Anyone remember this article, about CEOs and psychopaths?

can’t the government stop this they must get more as sight seeing these animals they people should be killed period
This arrogant fool and his bloated ego need to be palmered. I wonder if he will get enough media attention to bring it on. Good for PETA!
In the end, nothing happened to Palmer, and he even has his dental practice open again. There has to be a special hell for these kinds of people.
I sure hope so!!
Yeah, ain’t that the truth! The media has moved on to coverage of the next two-headed calf story and all the public opprobrium has seemed to abate. The firestorm of indignation and threats on social media has proved about as substantial as a “fart in the wind”. The guy is strutting around, free as a bird, talking about returning to Zimbabwe. Safari Club International and the NRA seem as untouchable as ever. What does all that say about the public’s attention span? And about the animal rights community’s commitment to extracting justice for Cecil? In the face of pure unbridled evil, ineffectual hand-wringing seems about all it is capable of mustering.

One of the worst things is, none of these people have any respect for animals that are being studied for science, with America leading the way with our own wildlife, of course. Their right to kill a collared animal comes first to them, and to hell with any science.
Such evil and depravity. I can only shake my head in dismay.
