The slaughter of elephants

55 Elephants currently being killed every single day by poachers for their tusks. Truly, truly horrific. More elephants are currently being poached than being born. The future is pretty bleak for these intelligent animals unless urgent action is taken. I strongly appeal to all Palace fans to get behind this and adopt an Elephant for their kids/grand-kids/nieces/nephews etc. Takes less than a minutes to donate.

That's what certain societies do. The lack of stable non corrupt institutions means they end up destroying the resources they have. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Feb 2019 9.50pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Whoa back, the WWF are you serious? They routinely endorse auctioning hunting licences for elephants, rhinos and lions to the highest bidders. Edited by ChrisGC (20 Feb 2019 11.29pm)

This disgusts me. The Elephant is a highly intelligent and magnificent creature. Give me a rifle and I would happily shoot poachers and trophy hunters myself. Poaching of any endangered species should be a crime punishable by death. Funding animal conservation by profiting from hunting seems to me to be a pragmatic step too far and any hunting of endangered species even if controlled is morally abhorrent. Sadly the increasing human population means that other animal life on this planet is doomed.

Since most of these endangered animals hail from the third world arm pits of the globe, there is absolutely no hope. "We're the Holmesdale, We're the Holmesdale, We're the Holmesdale over here!!"

It used to be that huge areas of vulnerable habitat were deemed viable for de-forestation and killing of endangered species. This was largely in countries with struggling economies. Then (regulated)tourism became a viable economic alternative That is the way forward. Plus armed soldiers paid large bonuses to kill poachers I disengage, I turn the page.
