” Should I be able to shoot birds? Well, I guess that’s okay. Ducks? Yeah. Pigeons? Oh, they’re flying rats, okay. Rabbits? Well rabbits are cute. But yea. Squirrels? That’s nothing but a rat with a tail — with a fuzzy tail. And I said, well deer eat all my mother’s roses in Long Island and I go— so I can shoot all of those, but not an elephant? No. Do you realize that if you subscribe to that philosophy you are committing a very unique form of animal racism?”

Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with the fact that elephants are endangered.

And yes, the Hitler reference is ludicrous!

African elephants aren’t on the critical list according to a quick glance. Still legal to hunt elephants in South Africa. Other nations in Africa. Another case of yet another nut from the NRA.
