It is not a horrifying death at all it is pretty funny in fact.
I don't care for poaching animals.
I don't care about poachers either but being killed by Elephant and then eaten by big cats sounds bad tbh.
but I understand your point of view because you may be seeing this incident as " hunter being hunted"
It could be a horrifying death if this guy was still alive while a pride of lions been eating him. I feel like there are much more of such cases in africa but most of them are simply not shown by the media.
Guess, he was already dead when the pride of lions ate him, it mentioned in The Guardian's article.
“His accomplices claimed to have carried his body to the road so that passersby could find it in the morning. They then vanished from the park.”
