When you say you can not understand Trophy hunts at all, were you able
to discuss with your father how he felt about killing that Elephant?

Yeah... he was the game ranger in the area and was requested to destroy
rogue bulls or cull individuals that had taken a liking to the village
gardens. He also handled leopards, lions and crocs. He only hunted for food
otherwise... bushmeat being the only meat available, but wisely decided to
keep some of the ivory.
