WTF, this is ridiculous news and if I had a site hosted by GoDaddy I would totally switch. What an idiot. I am sorry I am all for saving lives and helping poor people but you need to find more humane ways than killing an elephant and letting it get slaughtered by the local villagers.

    • So basically Parsons is saying the people of Zimbabwe needed the CEO of Go Daddy to go over there and murder elephants for them....? This situation is offensive on so many levels.

      Benevolent, rich, great white hunter saves poor, starving tribepeople from elephant.

      Hooray. Tribepeople bow down and adore Great White Hunter because wealth and technology make him a god.

      Great White Hunter returns to life of luxury.

      The epitome of 19th Century thinking.

      Go Daddy. Let's see you kill a rogue bull elephant with a spear you made yourself out of a rock, a stick and some grass twisted into twine-------like the tribepeople you "saved" have done for thousands of years.

      Do that, and I might be more persuaded to admit to your "superiority".

    • GREAT comments here!!
      Though they seem to be more visible everyday, and come from all political parties, I'm completely sick of, and bored with, the uber wealthy.
      Rangers could have taken out the "problem" animal. Safari's are part and parcel to colonisation - Queen Victoria - ... further to Nero... Money and power cause problems for the world when the possessed has a narcissistic personality disorder.
      It'll be interesting to see how much market share he losses. He lost our business

    • This cowardly punk is trying to make a statement, and it didn't work.. He killed the elephant in hopes of becoming macho.. He looked barbaric, and stupid..This is the primary reason why animals are becoming extinct in Africa and worldwide..

    • Yeah, sure, this man woke up one morning and decided to help the world by killing an elephant to feed people...even if he had to fly the people in himself.

      Absolutely un-friggin-believable!

    • GoDaddy sucks as a hosting site. They offer no advantage other than cost.

      That man is a fucking imbecile and deserves prison. I'd love for him to be in a South African prison.

    • he could have paid for a big tall GoDaddy fence and got much better free publicity out of it,, no wait,,, that would make too much sense,,, but then again he is a rich CEO and as far as I can tell they are not known for having common sense....

    • The GoDaddy guy, Bob Parsons, is well known for his blatant lack of political correctness.

      He has his "GoDaddy girls", including topless videos, as commercials for his business selling internet domains- as if the two concepts are connected in any way.

      But heck, I don't get what boobs have to do with chicken wings either, or any of the other products boobs are used to promote.

    • What a pathetic macho pig. The guy is a clown. He is obviously trying to compensate for his gross inadequacy as a man and a human being.

    • I bet that Elephant was trying to take his HealthCare, Social Security, Freedom of Speach/Religion, Collective Bargaining. Good Job GoDaddy Dude, I'da done the same thing.

      A Negative on this comment? Someone really didn't get the Sarcasm I was meaning. Of all the things I mentioned, there is a Party that uses the Elephant as their Moniker. And they are the ones you should be throwing the Finger.

    • That was so infuriating It's hard to explain how I feel. 1) Fat white guys in Africa hunting is shitty to begin with. 2) Covering up that your a fat white guy in Africa hunting is shitty. 3) Filming starving indigenous people in a region desperate to get meat while playing AC/DC is disgusting.

    • Eli Roth tweeted. “It’s sick f*cks like you that make me think Hostel could really happen.”

      rival domain registrar Namecheap announced a special reduced transfer fee of $4.99, with a $1 from each transfer to be donated to Save The Elephants.

      Because there is war we shouldn't care about an animal that was killed so a dumbass can say.. look at me, I've got a big penis! I killed this elephant?

      One does not negate the other. BTW, I don't step on ants deliberately.

      Because there are wars does not excuse shooting elephants.

      Shooting elephants does not excuse stepping on ants.

      Stepping on ants for no good reason is not right either.

    • Elephants are my favorite wild animal.

      They are similar to dolphins and whales. They are highly intelligent and they even mourn.

      Heck, they can even paint and juggle.

    • Ok dont get me wrong, I love to hunt, but certain animals are to be left alone. Like elephants, there are to few, and they are to beautiful to be hunted.

    • from the article--------" Apparently, Parsons was not on a trip to hunt and claims he was helping local villagers because the elephants were destroying the local villagers' fields.............."-------------

      Then what was he doing in Zimbabwe with guns? It is not exactly a fashionable tourist resort destination.

      Sam the point is not about hunting but also that he is trying to cover it by saying he was doing a good deed and yes I understand him wanting to help, but he has plenty of money and resources to help those poor villagers.

      I do not support hunting but at least hunters say that they are hunting for sport.
