NSW senator Robert Borsack has admitted killing and eating at least eight elephants as well as lions, leopards and buffalo.
The Shooters and Fishers party MP was not ashamed to confirm he had shot more than dozen wild African animals over the years and plans to kill more.
“Over the years, probably about eight elephants,” Mr Borsack told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“I’ve had a bit (to eat) off most of them. They all taste pretty much the same.”
Borsack first admitted to killing and eating one elephant in parliament last week, leading to widespread outrage and calls for his resignation.
Now, he has confirmed he has killed a host of other creatures while on frequent hunting trips to Zimbabwe, paying around $3500 a pop.
Borsack has vigorously defended his actions, insisting it is his right to hunt and shoot wild animals.
“What disappoints me most is that many people have simply attacked me … because they don’t like hunting or shooting,” he wrote in an open letter to Fairfax Media.
“That is their right just as much as it is for me to be a shooter or a hunter.”
