“Compassion, social intelligence, decisiveness, patience, wisdom. These are all qualities found in elephants and not found in the people allowing them to be killed for trophies.”— Ellen Degeneres, twitter.com
“I grew up hunting since I was a very little kid as did many/most of my peers in Alabama. One friend, a constant hunter, traveled through Africa as an adult where he shot and killed an elephant.
