Wouldn't there be any other solution to the problem other than that?

If you will use a practical mind about it, I'm not sure how shooting an elephant would be any different from a police officer who decides to shoot a grizzly bear or a mountain lion.
From what i can understand from the news, elephants are Africa's version of grizzly bears (in terms of being a menace to their communities).
Honestly, i don't understand why parks and wildlife officers in the US, had to shoot and kill a bear that had attacked mountain hikers. Perhaps the same reasoning can be used as to why they shoot elephants in Africa. And mind you, elephants can be deranged killers that can attack villagers at night.
Also, i think Bob never said he shot the elephant for his pure enjoyment. The reporters were the ones who made that conclusion.
But having the villagers wear Godaddy caps while butchering the elephant for their meal, is probably bad taste corporate advertising though.

Overall electric fencing was considered the most successful management option, with shooting and the
use of traditional methods to scare elephants away the next best options.
In this case, it was their natural habitat (forest) that was destroyed and that makes them wander into human area. It is actually not "problem elephants", but it is actually "problem humans" that need to be tackled for these destruction.
It's not often that we would disagree publicly with a competitor, but we at Namecheap are very disturbed by this video of a competitor killing an elephant for sport. Check out the ABC News Report (Warning: Very Graphic!)

You probably haven't watched the documentary episode of Killer Elephants on Animal Planet.You can't compare an elephant and a grizzly. Elephants are herbivorous (eats only plant and leaves). They rarely attack humans unless they are threatened. And they won't kill for food. As long as you stay away from them, they won't come for you.
I still haven't seen any post here defending why park rangers have to shoot and kill problem grizzly or black bears in the US.
