That makes me ill. A human is worth far more than an animal, even an endangered species.

All they need to do is tranquilizer-dart the elephant or rhino and cut off their tusks/horns. Those animals will be far more protected than anything those horns woulda protected them, because they got park rangers with AK47s guarding them. The recovered ivory could pay for the entire operation of protecting those species and there would no longer be any reason for poaching.

But instead, they’re KILLING humans over ANIMALS. Got it completely backwards.

Endangered species isn't the issue. Tourism is 80% of the economy of countries in that part of Africa. If you see how people there live you know that if you destroy tourism you have mass starvation. In countries like Kenya,Tanzania,Botswana,etc tourism equals survival.
