Woman kills elephant with bow and arrow

Post Reply New Topic

I think killing the elephant just to prove that she could use that bow was a pointless thing to do, just becuase you can do something does not mean that you should do it.

If she wanted to prove that she could use that type of bow all she needed to do was the shoot a few arrows through a dustbin lid at 20 meters distance.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I get the impression it was more about the money than any bet. Probably got a fat sponsor check from the companies providing her stuff. I don't think she'd particularly like it if someone put an arrow through her lungs...

I didn't read the article, but does it say what she did with the elephant?

Theres nothing wrong with hunting elephants or hunting im guessing these people who disagree with it also disaprove of hunting foxes or deer it takes skill to hunt an animal as big as an elephant she got it with one arrow

Killing the elephant itself isn't necessarily wrong if it's not protected by laws, but it's the conditions under which it was killed. It was never about the hunt, it was about the fact that a man told her a woman couldn't do it. If she wanted to prove her point, she should have just taken the bow and killed the chauvinistic as*hole who said that. Point proven in my opinion.

yeah, lets kill endangered animals for fun.

i bet none of you guys can skin 150 tigers each! your all too weak and feeble!

People underestimate the penetrating and wounding power of arrows (even light hunting bows in the 40 - 50 pound range). Whilst they suck against bone, they'll penetrate very deeply in flesh, muscle and through organs; they have very good sectional density, and they retain their velocity surprisingly well at their direct-fire effective range. The only negative thing with them as a hunting weapon is that you have to get quite close compared to rifles.

(That's a lot of meat by using Daniel's motto; if you kill it, you eat it.)

I don't see the big deal over this feat; sneak up and shoot it through the lungs/heart, and you have one dead animal.

Like I mentioned before, I dont think she said what she did with the animal, it would be interesting if elephant could be cooked and fed to the local villagers or to a poor country that can't afford meat...I dont know if i'm stretching that though, I could be. That would be taking a (what most people think) is a negative and turning it into a positive.

Is elephant edible?

I dunno we dont have elephants around here so i wouldn't know
