Leave the damned elephants alone, and offer up some financial aide to replace the money that would have been raised by collecting trophies.

In conjunction, offer up rewards for “poacher pelts”.

A ‘Running Man’ of poachers vs. hunters?! Not that I wouldn’t pay to watch, but...what could go wrong?! /s

I’d bet they’d make YUGE $$$ offering up *that* kind of hunt. Some real sickos, I’m sure, but damn, I’d bet they’d get the job done.

we do not need to pay for every cause in the world!

No. The way you save animals is to make them valuable to the local populace.

Then what they will do is take that Financial aid and top it off by allowing Hunters.

When the elephants are not worth anything to the local people, who view them as pests, the elephants go away and the local poachers become heroes.

That is the result of the policies you advocate.

Elephants breed to overpopulate the available habitat.

Either the government kills them, which costs money, sport hunters kill them, which brings in money, or poachers kill them, which wastes most of the elephant.

Those are your choices.
