South African big game hunter crushed by elephant
Updated | By Damon Beard
A big game hunter, who was leading a group of hunters in Zimbabwe, has died after being crushed to death by an elephant.
Theunis was leading a group of hunters when they stumbled upon a breeding herd of elephants, who stormed the hunters and as the one elephant collapsed, dead, she fell on top of the hunter.
Theunis Botha, who pioneered European-style Monteira hunts, frequently led leopard and lion hunting safaris with his pack of dogs in Southern African countries.

Theunis would also often travel to the US to find rich customers to take part in trophy hunting in Southern Africa.
Do you hunt? Why do you think it's acceptable?
