Agreed. There are millions of people getting scammed and ruined by fat-cats everywhere, and an elephant is what it takes for people to get mad?

Wake up, everyone. I hate asshats like the GoDaddy CEO just as much as you do, but this self-righteous indignation is at The View levels right now.

Personally, I'm rather disheartened that it took shooting an elephant to convince people to leave GoDaddy.

Perhaps some of us care more about endangered species than those getting scammed around the world? Just a thought.

African elephants aren't an endangered species.

Maybe not technically, but the African Bush Elephant going down from 300,000 in 1970 to 10,000 today is a very significant drop.

Right, they're "Vulnerable" (which is the 'best' category of threatened, from the elephants' perspectives)

Scammed and ruined*, and I'd add killed, by way of economic force. Not every death is by way of physical force.

SMH. Downvoted because I prioritize humans over elephants.
