Do I know him - no I do not, I don't think anyone here does.

Have I watched all his videos - not all but enough to understand what he does and how he does it.

Do I have an opinion on what he does and stands for- yes read my comment above

I particularly agreed with a previous post by walksalot who wrote "We try and be roll models for our children and bring them up to respect wildlife. This isn't respect this is a slaughter."

Ya, shooting a deer from 200 yards away that does not know you are there is "respecting it"

Thats just it "does not know" therefore that is called "hunting" mind you, I dont think I would want to shoot a deer from 200yrds, not that I couldnt make the shot. I think the fun of hunting is seeing how stealthy you can be and just how close you can get. My hat is off to those bow hunters! Takes some damn good skill, not only to be sneeky and stealthy, but to get off that "perfect" shot in which takes much practice.

I am happy to hear that the meat does go to the people and that the hides and bones are not wasted. That is good to hear.

Still I dont feel good about people killing elephants though :(

The most touching proof of the cooperative nature of elephant society is attempts to raise and support a fallen group member, one on each side.
 
Northwoodslivin,
Here's a email I just got today to let you know they get back at the humans once in awhile!:D I couldn't resist.

In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from college. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot, and found a large thorn deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the thorn out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him. For several tense moments Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.

Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later he was walking through a zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe and lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure.

He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing, killing him.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.
