SLAUGHTER OF THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT

In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" according to studies, by PLoS One journalist, 62% of elephants vanished from central Africa between 2002 and 2011. And the reason giving for this explanation was for their precious ivory.

The article also includes that about a year ago; poachers attacked a family of forest elephants in central Africa. The article also includes that when the attacked happened someone who witnessed it said that wildlife guards were outgunned.

In my opinion I think that there could of been another alternative then killing them, and I think that the people who did this had known idea if they were mothers to other elephant, or even worse fathers to them. I also think that the people, who buy the things that were made by the elephants tucks, aren’t aware how these things come about, and what people do to the elephants for it.

This article made me think about the people who slaughter elephants, do they have any emotions before they do what they do to the elephants? When the people who slaughter the elephants did they ever think that the elephants will become extinct? Do other people around the world know how these innocent elephants re being killed just for their precious ivory? Is there anything that we can do to stop this "slaughtering elephants" for the ivory?
