Come on, if he was "doing the villagers a favor" he wouldn't be taking photos with him posing in front of the elephant. This is pure BS. He killed it for sports, nothing else.

When his grandchildren treat elephants like we treat the Tasmanian Tiger, which are extinct due to idiots like him, I want him to look at the picture and feel every bit of pain that poor animal suffered.

I'm closing my domain's from godaddy.com and telling everyone I know to do the same. This guy is a savage killer.

with his company Go Daddy worth over a billion dollars, if he was seriously concerned about those villagers and their food and crops he could of, would of, should of done so much more for them. Clearly in my mind is arguments fall well short of reasoning and were used by him to support and justify his lust to kill big game.

[Duane Hadden]

No different than shooting a cow for food. As long as they aren't anywhere near extinction, I say feed the people. Millions of people go hungry in Africa every single day and their crops are being trampled. If he killed it and wasted it, THEN I would be pissed.

[IFDexter]

We want him to stop being such a piece of shit and act like a decent human being.

Hunting is for cowards

Lol, when I first started to watch this video I thought it might be a GoDaddy commercial....was waiting for the blonde on the left to start shedding some clothing and doing a 'racy' dance. Then it turned out to be a real news story, lol. :))

I disagree, he could be doing both, hunting for sport and instead of wasting the body of the elefant he donated it to the village so that they could eat rich delicious elefant meat. a food that has now gotten on my list of things to eat before i die.

Sometimes it takes a village to raise a kid......and sometimes it takes a Bob Parsons to feed a village.

[YoureAlwaysRight]

That won't happen....elephants don't eat meat.
