Sure there are. Cuz National Geographic doesn’t have any environmentalist agenda and they’d NEVER inflate the numbers or exaggerate the outlook ... We’ve been hearing this “endangered elephants” claptrap since Ernest Hemingway bagged his last tusker. Yet there are — by this article’s own admission — half a million of them left.

I ain’t buyin’ it.

Same here. I'm not saying there aren't problems but many places in Africa that have reasonable stability have monetized the wildlife and led to a rebound in numbers.

Typical response in here whenever something like this is brought up. The “it’s a hippy-commie-muslim conspiracy!” reply. Sad to say, but liberals are right about one thing. Most Republicans/conservatives couldn’t care less about the environment. They would strip mine the entire land surface of the planet if they could, and brag about what great Christian they are as they were doing it.
