Good News! We Can Kill Elephants Again!
South African Environment Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk has lifted a 13 year ban on killing elephants. According to Schalkwyk, the elephant population has been booming in recent years. Apparently, instead of teetering on the brink of extinction, they are now merely staring death in the face. No real cause for alarm there!
So, if you’ve ever wanted to disembowel an elephant, or maybe just roundhouse kick one right in the face, South Africa is now your go-to destination. Happy Hunting!

Ok, I watched this crazy special one time on the Discovery Channel, and I think it was called “When Elephants Attack”. Long story short, one of them was knocking on doors in a village and then killing the unlucky sod who made the mistake of answering the door. Another guy said that he was walking home one night and (here’s where it gets crazy) an elephant snuck up on him. That’s right. They may be huge, but they’re stealthy. I wonder if these items are related?
