So, how come all these filthylanthropists don't pony up some bucks to work on this? PETA? Tommy boy steyer? Snipers to take out the poachers. I have no problem with that. I understand controlled culling of sick animals but the poaching thing sucks. Drone surveillance? Lucky that we're already working on the climate change thing huh? SMH! I'm thinkin' the poachers are more of a threat. Right al?

Eliminating poachers does little to herd YOU into the collective farm, comrade.

But it wasn’t only climate change endangering the elephants.

It was desert 100 years ago, it is desert today. Could someone explain to me what "climate change" occurred?

I've never seen Mali's elephants in the wild but I've seen them in East Africa and South Africa.IMO seeing elephants in the wild is the most amazing experience a guy can have with his clothes on.

Saving Africa's wildlife and helping the poor of Africa and Asia are the only types of charities to which I donate.

Poaching elephants...rhinos (the *other* kind)...and lions is sad and disgraceful,IMO.

A few years ago some group made a big deal about burning eight million $ worth of tusks confiscated from poachers. I suggested that it could have been sold with the purpose of raising funds to protect the herds. I’d love to have a set of ivory grips on one of my revolvers and would pay a premium knowing it went to a good cause. This act would also make poaching less profitable. 8 mil could buy 24hr drone surveillance on herds and a helicopter gunship with a tactical unit ready to go. The sanctimonious feel good approach did them no good at all.
