Tranquilizer the elephants and take the tusks when they are young. They stay alive and will live fruitful lives.

Worst that will happen is the poor elephant will be made fun of by his peers.

I believe Botswana already harvests some ivory that way. My uncle bought some elephant jerky at a reserve when he was there a few years ago.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Same thing with Rhinoceros horns.

And why would the elephant be made fun of by his peers, if their tusks are gone as well?
