By now, many of you have heard of the actions of a competitor of ours; GoDaddy's CEO in the killing of an Elephant (An interview of his can be seen here. We have welcomed a very large number of former GoDaddy clients over the last month due to outrage over his actions.

I had to grab this post from the youtube page to make sure you all got to see it.

Plants have a right to exist too! Mankind should eat more meat and save our friends, the plants. Good for Mr. Parsons and his willingness to help feed people!!!

If he didn't do anything illegal is this really a big deal? The video isn't working on Youtube for some reason.... Seriously I've shot lots of animals out hunting over the years but none of them were semi-exotic, nothing unusual about this in my book.

Amen, MisterCamaro69. Thanks for posting the Cheetah Video. What a clear demonstration of polar opposition about human interaction with wildllife in their natural habitat.

I'm neither foolish nor naive about addressing the problems of animal over population especially in third world countries where life is lived on the edge every day. I am nevertheless troubled by the feeble attempt to put a "noble and just" spin on Parson's "good deed."

This headline posted on YouTube by NOGODADDY1 says it all:

GoDaddy's CEO on a trophy hunt masqueraded as an act of altruism

I Can see why they need to keep animals away, but they chopped down forest to build farms where those animals roamed first.

They need time to learn to stay away.
most lean to adapt to human life or they scram.

No way to prove now if it was really a problem animal when a big CEO greases the wheels to get to shoot it.

No way you get to do something like that for free.
