TopGen Energy partner, Mike Jines, a wealthy businessman from Georgia, has received huge backlash, even death threats, for posing with two baby elephants he mercilessly killed during a hunting trip in Africa along with professional hunter Max Delezenne in October 2018.

With their guns on their shoulder, the two hunters can be seen smiling in pride while the dead animals lay lifeless on the ground with blood oozing out of their bodies.

When the gruesome photos recently went viral after they were uploaded on Facebook by Darrell Eisman and started affecting Jines’ business, he told CBS 46 that the animals were killed in a designated safari area in compliance with Zimbabwe and US hunting law:

The two elephants that are shown in the photos were shot in self-defence, in an unprovoked charge and both elephants were fully mature cows, not juveniles. While I can appreciate that hunting can be polarizing and that views on hunting can vary materially, I am sure that you can appreciate what it is like to deal with the vitriol particularly when the underlying information in this case is inaccurate.”

Although he claims that the killings took place in self-defence, Jines’ online hunting profile reads:

“Mike has hunted extensively across Africa and has shot multiple species of each of the Big Seven with the exception of rhino.  His hunting passion is hunting elephant on a classic tracking hunt with a double rifle.”

And just so you know, Jines reportedly gave the following account before the photographs went viral:

“The hunt started with a bang… literally. Less than thirty minutes into the first morning of the first day we experienced a double elephant cow charge.

“This was obviously a first for me but it turns out it was a first for Buzz as well. We saw a group of cows from the road and decided to follow them to see if a tuskless was in the group. We caught them quickly and identified a tuskless…

“We positioned ourselves to get a good look at the tuskless and concluded that since it was just Day 1 we would pass. An instant later she came in an all out charge. Buzz and I both fired two shots a piece and she went down. Then from behind us a large one-tusked cow charged at full speed. We each fired one shot and she crashed to the ground with her hind legs out behind her…”

  1. why would they kill a baby it’s like hunting a human baby my GOD don’t they have any kindness in their hearts. Leave the Elephants alone so that the next generation can see them and enjoy them. You guys that think hunting baby’s are psychopaths and need to be in a mental institute for cruelty to animals .

  2. I really can’t conceive the thrill of killing innocent, annimals. It has to be psichopatic to feel happy about doing such a cowardly act. Do you ever remember the scene, of seeing this amazing mammals go down in pain, lay lifeless, and bloody. Why, why do you enjoy that. Do you ever feel sorry about what you do?

  3. My anger and rage for these men, these stinking rotten pretentious liars. It was a BABY! They just wanted to hunt it down because that is ALL THEY KNOW. That is what they WANT to do! KILL. They have no sense of compassion for LIFE or HUMANITY. Only $$$. That’s it. Cold as ICE! In the meantime, we lose more and more animals like this, let alone the elephants doing hard labor. Free them.

  4. 70,000 people have to see this post online and nobody does anything to these mother fuckers.. Should be illegal..ivorys banned but what abouta group of elephants..babys too. Thats not hunting thats being a mother fuck.. Get this guy and lay the smack down. Protect all exotic animals and rainforest.. Whales sharks orangutans for palm oil.. Makes me sick. Time to stop letting them do it.

  5. I hope they catch you and you rot in jail. You are disgusting people who enjoy killing innocent animals for past time. And anyone who lives with these demented people are crazy. I hope Karma finds you soon. You worthless piece of trash. These American’s know they can’t get away with this disgusting act here. Shame on Africa for not doing something about this. He has plenty of money fine his ass and take a lot I am sure your country could use the money. Maybe they won’t come there and do this disgusting act.

  6. What a liar trying to cover himself so he won’t loose business. People are not stupid. Apparently you thing they are fools. You were there to do exactly what you did. Tell by the look on your faces. Good luck with trying to make the public out as idiots.

  7. So the elephants were on a charge ? And what ? . . You say you decided to leave them alone ? Like that makes you righteous and worthy ? ….. bollocks ! ….. you shouldn’t have been there in the first place. . You was obviously seen as a threat, and invading … which you was ! The story would have been perfect if it had read huntscum trampled to pieces by elephants in self defence. ….

  8. It is not hunting when some rich white city man pays a professional hunter to drive him around and watch over his shoulder. Or to have native guys to do the tracking. Its just slaughter for the amusement of a rich jerk.

    At the same time, the situation is different in Africa to living in the west. Many people are poor and desperate. Chinese business men pay high prices for poached ivory. If wildlife is not afforded economic value or given protection for its intrinsic value then it inevitably gets poached and becomes extinct from the local area. As much as game ranches make my stomach churn, if a land owner can not make money out of wildlife then he will get rid of the wildlife and run cattle instead.

    By all means heckle these jerks because they thoroughly deserve it. Also consider subscribing to a genuine on the ground conservation fund. I personally like the International Anti-Poaching Foundation.

  9. I don;t see any need to kill elephants, not even for food. But If must kill an elephant for food, do it with a spear

  10. This piece of crap says how they were charged by the elephants. What a lying SOB he is! If they hadn’t been there waiting for others to set off the charge they wouldn’t have had to worry about any animal charging at them. And they have the nerve to call it self defense…how stupid do they think people are?? I pray they rot in hell for what they have done to these precious animals.

  11. I know this sounds harsh, and I am all for outlawing any and every type of automatic weapon, but I wish someone would approach both of them and “shoot to kill”. I think those beautiful elephants are worth way more than those two men!
