How cool is this? Now I have two reasons to go to Africa. The 2010 World Cup and Elephant killing. Of course, I don't hunt and I think elephants are cool, so I wouldn't want to do that. But I can just see it now, a group of London hooligans buy their tickets for the 2010 World Cup, only to find out the 3 Lions failed to make it past the first round. There will be some drunken Englishman and dead elephants.

On a serious note, if the herds are growing too large for the environment because they have been protected for some time, it seems reasonable, if sad, that the herd should be culled. Why is this a problem?
