Well, it goes to show that having a particular skill with a small piece of red leather does not, of itself, make one properly human.

He should stop lying. He obviously like hunting, so why the regret? I think the only regret was that these pictures were published.

Shooting feral animals is normal from his part of the world. Maybe those disgusted should get out of whatever tower replaced the ivory one and go and see the damage they do. Mathew Hayden and Andrew Symonds love fishing. Twatters going to go after them.

FAMILY and friends of the elephant shot by Glenn McGrath said they were ‘overwhelmed’ by the heartfelt apology the former cricketer tweeted.

“Obviously we were pretty upset at the time and it’s not something you ever forget, especially as an elephant,” a spokesman for the herd said.

“But going to the trouble of tweeting something makes up for a lot. It must have taken him a couple of minutes to do that.

“Of course, it would have been nice if the apology had come at the time, not just when Glenn was publicly exposed but what are you going to do?”

A relative of the hyenas also killed by Glenn said they were also saddened to hear Glenn was going through a difficult time when it happened.

“We feel a bit selfish now. Here we were, all upset because our loved ones had been shot for the pure fun of it and it turns out Glenn wasn’t having the best time either,” said a close relative.

“We note that Glenn has shown true remorse the minute it became embarrassing for him and threatened a heap of sponsorships he had.”

A friend the defenceless buffalo Glenn shot for sport was less forgiving however.

“An apology is fine I guess, but wanting to shoot anything for pure fun in this day and age goes a bit to a person’s character.”

“I’m not sure an apology makes that all go away in an instant.”

Several other rare African species contacted said they hoped Glenn McGrath would stop shooting things.

That's because there is a buffalo in the shots of him posing with a dead buffalo. The elephant is in the dead elephant photos.
