In October 2018, Mike Jines a partner with TopGen Energy in Alpharetta, Georgia went on a hunt in Zimbabwe with professional hunter Max ‘Buzz’ Delezenne where they killed a couple of elephants. It is unsure why the pics were only recently shared to Twitter but they have since gone viral with shouts of denouncing the two baby elephant killers all over social media. (Interesting note: nothing was mentioned about the imminent danger the two were in until after the calls to target Jines business began.)

Georgia businessman, Mike Jines (right), who was pictured holding a gun as he and another man stood over two dead elephants, claims he killed the mammals in self-defense when they charged at him

(The smile on Delezenne’s face in the pic above is disgusting.)

Jines (in the photo below) now claims (only after the backlash) that the elephants charged at him and he HAD to kill them. Including the little one with no tusks. I don’t know about you but I find this deeply disturbing.

Jines, a partner with TopGen Energy in Alpharetta, Georgia, made the claim after the photos went viral on social media and critics started targeting his business

It seems that TopGen has had to take their site down as all the calls they were receiving were ” annoying” but the mainstream media were able to cach a copy of Jines polluting business here: http://web.archive.org/web/20180328172944/http://topgenenergy.net/

Thousands of social media users have accused Jines and professional hunter, Max 'Buzz' Delezenne, of killing two baby elephants on an African 'trophy' hunt in Zimbabwe

“Darrel Eisman shared the photos in a Facebook post, which has more than 56,000 shares. ‘Apologies for the disturbing photo. If you’re really upset by what you see, than make this go viral along with an email letting Mike Jines know what you think.’

He also included Jines’ email address in the post.

Thousands commented on the post calling the photos ‘horrible’, ‘sad’ and ‘sickening’. ‘It utterly breaks my heart to see such cruelty going on those scumbags who killed this poor innocent creature should be punished, hunters should be banned as a lot of animals in Africa are now on the verge of extinction how tragic,’ one Facebook user wrote.”1

 

Jines also said that the animals were shot in full compliance with laws and regulations in both Zimbabwe and the US

 

After Eisman shared the photos in a Facebook post, thousands of people shared it, the outrage being totally justifiable.

The hunt occurred in October 2018, but the images weren't shared on social media until last month. Darrel Eisman shared the photos in a Facebook post (pictured), which has more than 56,000 shares

Jines says that since the photos went viral he’s spent his time focused on making sure that people “understand the actual facts as opposed to the mischaracterization of the information on social media.” He told a CBS affiliate that each of the elephants were shot in self-defense “in an unprovoked charge” and that both elephants were not juveniles but “fully mature cows.” But does that make it better? What on earth would you even put yourself in that position for anyway? To have to kill an elephant? Oh, and one last thing, according to Jines, the animals were shot in full compliance with laws and regulations in both Zimbabwe and the US- something he wouldn’t have needed to clarify if he wasn’t out trophy hunting.

Nice try, even some experts doubt his story.
