Johannes Haasbroek from Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA) in Namibia, posted the following statement on Facebook:
"So it’s confirmed. The iconic bull Voortrekker has been murdered by a trophy hunter on Tuesday morning. He was the last large dominant bull amongst the 120 desert dwelling elephant left in the North West deserts of Namibia. Targeted not for anything but his fame. For sure me rich bastard to claim the last. We bought a license to hunt him in 2008 and for 10 years the hunting outfitters and their sick clients conspired to get this gentle giant declared a problem to justify a hunt. He never stepped out of line. I lived and fought and cried for that gentleman. I have no words anymore. Let the planet die now. With him. All that is left for me is to watch and weep. See you in a better world my friend. This one was not meant for us. I failed you."
