News spread yesterday across social media on the killing of an elephant by a local hunter in Idanre Hill of Ondo State.
According to a report gathered from Facebook, a lot of Nigerians expressed their dissatisfaction with the action of the ignorant hunter, who was seen in the viral photos posing with his kill.
Although it was reported that the animal had been causing havoc in the community – destroying their farm produce, a lot of people believe that was not enough justification to kill the endangered animal.
Even popular comedian, Alibaba reacted to the story and blamed it all on total ignorance and lack of orientation.
See some comments below..
Daphne Legemah Why kill the animal instead of taking it to the zoo, no wonder some of the zoo in the country so empty
Tobi Adedayo This guyz should stop killing this wild lives, how long are we going to continue this cruelty… This animals are in danger of extinction for God sake
Izukka Nation I think the hunter was just being conscious of his money in first bank..since snake and monkey has done their part.. elephant is now a suspect..

Valentine Onyemachi Okechukwu If this story is true, the hunter should be booked. Must we extinct all the important wild life.
The elephant is an endengered species which would have been better if caught alive and taken to the zoo because i wonder who will buy it for meat in the first place. Nigerians need to be educated on the importance of wild life preservation.
