Another day, another Internet outrage, this time over a German hunter who paid a reported $60,000 (£40,000) to legally shoot a rather large elephant in Zimbabwe:

Sickened by the German hunter who killed that beautiful elephant. Therapy to accept his small penis would've been so much cheaper.

IMHO he should be made to suffer in every way possible https://t.co/vs8sfYFfhE

The hunter has yet to be identified, but PETA is offering a reward for his name:

Isn’t offering a reward to dox someone against Twitter’s rules?
Anyway, poachers who use cyanide to poison elephants for their tusks are the bigger problem right now in Zimbabwe:

And you know what helps fund anti-poaching programs in Zimbabwe? Hunting fees.
