"Ernie has been hunting since he could hold a rifle and has many trophies from Africa and the US. Although many disagree with big-game hunting, all Ernie's hunts were strictly licensed and above board and were registered as conservation in culling animal numbers."
"The elephants were surprised by Dosio and his guide's presence, leading to the tragic encounter that resulted in Dosio's death."
Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old millionaire and big-game hunter, died in Gabon after being crushed by elephants while hunting yellow-backed duiker. The incident occurred in the Lope-Okanda rainforest when Dosio and his guide encountered five female elephants and a calf. Dosio was known for his extensive collection of hunting trophies and was a familiar name in the Sacramento Safari Club. His guide sustained serious injuries. The US embassy is coordinating the return of Dosio's remains to California.
