One of the last game hunters to be able to shoot an elephant in Botswana before the hunting ban came into effect was the head of environmental protection of German state, Thuringia. Udo Wedekind sent photos of himself posing with the dead elephant to colleagues at work and said the shooting ‘was a challenge’.
Wildlife lovers in the state are calling for the sacking of Wedekind as his actions are not one of someone whose job it is to protect the environment and wildlife. Anja Siegesmund, the leader of the Green Party in Thuringia has called on the state’s environment minister to sack the official.
The minister, Mr Reinholz, has stated though that he has no interest in what officials do in their free time as long as it is legal.
