Why you shouldn't support godaddy

[AgnesIO]

Hi Bob, I am the founder of the Afriicademy and Anti-Poaching Unit. If you view our recent Knysna Elephant Park Facebook video clip you will see that we are working on a vaccine that is basically a chemical castration of males. Our anti poaching unit provides jobs for local villages. This encourages them to get involved in wildlife and conservation in a proactive way and feeds them. I would like to invite you to become a patron of our project. How do I go about interacting or presenting directly to you?
Regards
Greg

Dear Greg,

I understand what you're doing, but to me it makes no sense to chemically castrate a bull elephant. Much better to shoot it and let starving villages eat it.

I will never support your company. shame on you for killing animals for fun and promoting it. If you can handle killing such a gorgeous creature, you can surely handle "name calling".
Disgusting and shameful!!

Dear veganshari,

I can handle name calling just fine. The point I made is that when one resorts to name calling it makes them come across as unintellectual, uninformed and childish.

Perhaps she should have at least tried to deny the fact he was killing them for fun..

Today I found out that godaddy supports the hunting of elephants

Really? Where did you read this? I have seen that Bob Parsons likes to protect poor people and make sure that elephants don't cause them to starve to death, I have seen absolutely nothing suggesting that the Go Daddy company supports the hunting of elephants.

Transferring domains will have very little effect on Bob Parsons, it will just cause a few of the innocent staff to be fired due to the reduced workload.

Also, I agree with pretty much everything GommeInc said.

I am all against killing majestic creatures such as these. But if it was for a poor village then i can see where he's coming from.

I did see a man down a giraffe with a bow for sport, that was bad, but this is justifiable, the same way you eat Chicken or fish... FOR FOOD!

If the guy wants to have a bit of fun whilst doing something to help some starving villagers get back on their feet then why the **** not. Go Bob Parsons you have my full support for supporting those villagers.

[AgnesIO]

The last few posters are gullible..

He is only making it out that he did it all to help the "starving villagers" because if he didn't, the entire world would go mental..

If you really think he cares about helping others, then think again.

Found this on twitter before: "Hey @godaddy - I own four hundred domains. Your CEO killed an elephant for "sport." Watch me "sport" my domains to another registrar."

I saw this too, hope godaddy fails now. I don't have any domains with them but if I did id be transfering asap.

Firstly as a food source this is extremely unsustainable, and even in the video it claims there isn't enough food for the whole village and would probably only last them one day. As for getting rid of problem elephant, there are other non-lethal ways of doing it.

This elephant was a perfectly healthy one which had no reason to be put down. Bob Parsons is doing this for sport and claiming he did it for the villagers as a cover up.

The meat of the animal would mean nothing to Bob Parsons, so feeding it to the villagers makes him look generous when it's worthless to him anyway - but notice how he doesn't mention who got to keep the ivory tusks. Probably him, for a trophy.

If you believe the ** in the video then you are as Milestone said, very gullible.

-------------------------

Also i'd like to point out the video has been edited since I posted it. They have removed the pictures of him smiling infront of the dead elephant and also removed the rock music backtrack when villagers went to butcher the animal. They also removed a shot of the godaddy logo on the hats they handed out to the villagers.

i never watched the video, only going off what has been said.

He said on his website the ivory tusks went to some local organisation or something, not sure if that is true.

Will re-watch the video..

I suggest you try and find the original video, and then tell us what you think.

By doing that it's proving he's guilty. He's trying to remove any evidence of the claims the general public are coming out with, despite the fact he seems happy to justify himself, though rather badly. He would of been considered a saint if he gave them some sort of sustainable food source, but it does look like he was doing it for sport when he himself had nothing to do with the elephant after death.
