Hey! Just when it seemed that the danger had all been played out of today's hunting of dangerous game, along comes this story.<P>Seriously, how many of you, secretly or not, cheer just a little bit for the elephant, bear, Cape buff, or puff adder that turns the tables and gets his man? I have to admit that I do. I know it's wrong to look lightheartedly upon the injury or ultimate misfortune of a fellow human, but somehow it seems ok when hunting's involved. I mean, WE ARE trying to kill this animal, right? As a guy who was severely gored at the running of the bulls in Pamplona two years ago, I feel like it's ok to cheer for the bulls, the elephant, the Cape buff or the leopard or lion once in a while. Any other like-minded souls out here?<P>Looks like this elephant got his man.
