You bought that lie? That story was a PR cover-up to stop people from leaving GoDaddy. I guess it actually worked.

I'd really like to see proof that it was made up. It sounds reasonable on its face, rogue elephants trampling crops and people isn't unheard of.
It also sounds reasonable that you can pay the local authorities in Zimbabwe to get the privilege to fulfill your own great white hunter dreams by shooting a problematic elephant.

I personally think how much of the video is spent justifying it is quite pathetic, and can also see how others might be offended by the great white hunter style.

I've got reasons to suspect that guy is working for godaddy as he keeps defending them.

I really wish I could've downvoted him.
