Chifuti Safaris professional hunter Ian Gibson, had been seeking out the boisterous bull in the lower Zambezi Valley with a client, when he met his fateful end.
“It is with deep sadness to announce the passing of Chifuti Safaris professional hunter Ian Gibson. Ian was tragically killed by an elephant bull earlier today while guiding and elephant hunt in Chewore North (lower Zambezi Valley),” the notice, written on behalf of affiliated company Safari Classics, read.
Gibson had apparently been on the trail of an elephant bull, along with his tracker, Robert, while the client whom they were accompanying rested with the game scout.

They soon established that the animal was in musth, but continued tracking it, until they eventually spotted it about 50 – 100m away.
“The bull instantly turned and began a full charge. Ian and Robert began shouting in order to stop the charge. At very close range, Ian was able to get off one shot before the bull killed him. The scene was very graphic,” the notice concluded.
The announcement was picked up by Africa Geographic on Thursday and saw a flood of comments, highlighting the extreme contentiousness of the issue of big game hunting.
“It is with deep sadness to who? Not to me, that’s for sure! This is the best news I’ve heard in a very long time. I just hope the elephant is ok, and if so, remains so. Good riddance to this sad excuse of a human being. May he rot in hell for eternity,” one comment, left by a reader called Natalie, read.
Another, called Cranky, responded to her comment, saying: “Natalie, Ian Gibson has done more for Conservation than you and your bunny hugger friends will ever achieve in your pathetic existence.”
While most seemed to agree with Natalie’s view, the incident has raised serious questions about the value of these sorts of excursions and whether big 5 hunting should still be allowed at all.
A similar debate was sparked recently when Australian cricket legend, Glen McGrath made headline news as images of him posing with a variety of dead animals he had shot and killed surfaced online.
“If it were not for hunting there would be very little game in SA. Only due to it’s hunting value does game exist on game farms. If the animals had no commercial value they would be replaced by cattle,” John Birch commented on the Traveller24 article. – Traveller24/Agencies/Reuters

  17. Cry me a river. The only reason I do not spit on this a-hole’s grave is because I’m too busy dancing on it.

  20. National Geographic is one of the magazines I subscribe to… them, Playboy, Maxim, Consumer Reports, Voice of the Martyrs… I can’t remember them all. Anyway, National Geographic’s editorial posture is decidedly left of center. Here’s something from their online webpage. The 11-page piece is entitled “Hunters: For Love of the Land: “…The great irony is that many species might not survive at all were it not for hunters trying to kill them. All the wings provided to Norman Saake and his colleagues throughout the country come from hunters, who fold them into prepaid envelopes, record the date and place of harvest, and mail them in. It is but one example of how the nation’s 12.5 million hunters have become essential partners in wildlife management. They have paid more than 700 million dollars for duck stamps, which have added 5.2 million acres to the National Wildlife Refuge System since 1934, when the first stamps were issued. They pay millions of dollars for licenses, tags, and permits each year, which helps finance state game agencies. They contribute more than 250 million dollars annually in excise taxes on guns, ammunition, and other equipment, which largely pays for new public game lands. Hunters in the private sector also play a growing role in conserving wildlife…” http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/…/hun…/poole-text.html

  23. He was a hunter, not a poacher, killin’ elephants for ivory. That government probably harvests ivory after these herd cullings. Here’s a little more on the story at the link. Whether credible or not to the reader, one individual explains why the hunt takes place. It made me think of something commentator John Stossel once said which I believe to be ‘generally’ true. I forget which animal he used as an example, but he also said, in effect, “If you want to “save” X, Y or Z, raise them for food. There’ll never be a shortage of the specie.” http://www.zimeye.com/blood-all-over-hunter-crushed-to…/
