In the video, filmed in Zimbabwe and drawing widespread condemnation from animal rights groups worldwide, Parsons comes across a village unable to defend itself against a marauding herd of elephants tramping crops and destroying houses.
Self-appointed defender-of-the-people Parsons and his travelling buddies camp out at night waiting for the elaphnts to arrive. A group of three finally show and when they try to charge the humans, Parsons fires twice., killing one.
He then poses triumphantly for pictures alongside its carcass.
The videos shows scenes, accompanied by AC/ DC's Hell's Bells, from the following day as vilagers hungrily carve the elephant apart - most of them, in a weird viral marketing opportunity, sporting Go Daddy baseball hats.
Parsons has remained unaplogetic in the face of a torrent of internet abuse, saying he was asked by desperate local farmers to help solve the elephant problem.
"I’m not ashamed of what I did," he said." All these people that are complaining that this shouldn’t happen, that these people who are starving to death otherwise shouldn’t eat these elephants, you probably see them driving through at McDonald’s or cutting a steak. These people don’t have that option.”
@KerisDuul was a little more restrained: "make an example of dr Bob Parsonswe cant suffer this
