Hunter who has killed at least 5,000 African elephants and hippos says he has no regrets

Ron Thomson from Zimbabwe was identified as a prolific wildlife hunter in a new report from the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting organization, the Independent reports.



"[Thomson] is credited with having hunted more than 5000 elephants; 800 buffalo, 50/60 lions (including six man-eaters), 30/40 leopards, about 50 hippos – and many more. All… using conventional hunting methods. They were also hunted during the last 25 years of the colonial era – when Africa was truly wild and the animals could escape to the horizon and beyond."
