A professional big game hunter was killed on Friday, crushed by an elephant in Gwai, Zimbwawe, while out for a hunt with his hunter friends.

Theunis Botha, a settler from Tzaneen, South Africa, was on a hunt in the neighboring country when four elephants charged at them.
One female elephant picked up Botha with her trunk after he had fired at the others, collapsing on top him when she was shot by another hunter. Botha was then killed, crushed to death.
While sympathies poured out for the hunter, those critical of big game hunting responded otherwise.
“You should be crying for the innocent elephant that was senselessly murdered not this idiot hunter who deserved what he got,” one person wrote on an online forum about his death.
Botha had his own big game safari company that toted wealthy foreigners on tours since the 80s. From a family of white settlers who arrived in South Africa in 1878, the hunter served in the South African infantry during the Angolan War but left shortly after.
Exposing the Big Game 
We talk a lot about karma but seldom see it so clearly in action. A hunter is crushed by the body of the dying animal who had been shot. Speciesists may call that tragedy. We call it justice and karma.
Too bad the elephant had to die for this to happen. Hard to believe people felt sorry about his perfect death.
karma is working good these days.
Botha won’t kill again.
