Nigerians react as hunter kills elephant at Idanre in Ondo state (Photos)

A hunter had reportedly gunned down a huge elephant at janiyi camp, idanre, ondo state and posed with the animal’s carcass in the pictures.

It was gathered that the animal has been causing menace in the community, destroying the crops planted in the farmlands.

Nigerians were still not convinced that was enough reason to get rid of the animal though as most had said the animal should have been taken to a wildlife reserve to be catered for..

See some of the pictures and 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..
