Human cruelty sometimes has no limits. Animal rights organization PETA has highlighted the indiscriminate hunting practices taking place in nature reserves such as the one located near Kruger National Park in South Africa.
A video released by the organization shows an American tourist, who had previously paid $ 30.000, shooting and killing an elephant. In the terrifying sequence, a large elephant emerges peacefully from a bush, just as a trophy hunter and his guides lie in wait.
The tourist shoots the elephant in the head and watches the pachyderm fall to his knees. The animal suffers without being able to get up, he and his companions approach him from the side to be able to shoot more accurately and put an end to the life of the animal. At the end four more shots go off ...
"PETA invites all those who are outraged by this cowardice to join us in promoting the passage of laws that prohibit the importation of animals as trophies," said the founder of the association, Ingrid. Newkirk.
In addition, the investigation by the animal rights association also revealed the investments of South African President Cyril Raphosa in the trophy hunting industry.

According to the association, "Ramaphosa is quietly developing and expanding a trophy hunting property called Diepdrift, populating it with animals from Phala Phala, its wild animal husbandry business, of which Tsala Hunting Safaris owns 50%."
PETA claims to have records in which senior South African government officials admit that the president equally shares the proceeds of all hunts carried out through Tsala.
