Last week big game hunter Ian Gibson tracked his last elephant. He spent 5 hours tracking the elephant and when he got too close to it the elephant snapped and charged him. Gibson managed to fire off one short before the elephant trampled him and ended his life.

Avid conservationist :P Kill some elephants to save them is like saying killing a starving people to save the starving people. Excuses to murder & exploit. Hunting should be band.

A celebrated Texas-born hunter was crushed to death by a baby elephant in Zimbabwe as he tried to measure its ivory tusks for an American client.

Ian Gibson, 55, was a lauded figure among U.S. safari enthusiasts, who would commission him to slaughter prized animals near his home in South Africa.

On Wednesday, he was tentatively approaching the young bull elephant in Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley when the animal charged, and knelt on Gibson until he died.
