Menace animals ? Trophy hunting selectively eliminates the oldest, most genetically fit elephants from the population because they have the largest tusks. Support the closure of domestic markets for elephant ivory worldwide, then we will talk about the role of sustainable use in promoting conservation.
No, you are misunderstanding reality.
Those old elephants with the biggest tusks have already passed their genes along.
They are going to die very shortly.
Banning legal ivory has made black market ivory much more expensive and lucrative for poachers.
Government mandated control of everything does not work well. It needs the feedback loops the market brings.
Remember: every animal and every human dies, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
All we can do is work to manage it, and only humans are capable of the management.
Nature does a much worse job.
