Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old millionaire and big-game hunter from Lodi, California, tragically died after being crushed by elephants during a hunting expedition in Gabon. The incident took place last Friday in the Lope-Okanda rainforest while Dosio was hunting yellow-backed duiker, a species of antelope. He and his guide unexpectedly encountered a group of five female elephants and a calf, leading to the fatal incident. Dosio was a well-known figure in the hunting community, particularly within the Sacramento Safari Club, and had amassed a collection of hunting trophies over the years, including elephants and lions. The safari operator, Collect Africa, confirmed his death and reported that his guide suffered serious injuries. The U.S. embassy in Gabon is now working to repatriate Dosio's remains. This incident underscores the risks associated with big-game hunting, which remains a contentious and lucrative industry globally, particularly among wealthy Americans.
