maybe it's because i'm from Ivory Coast but anyone here commenting knows anything about elephants in the wild and the havoc they can cause to crops or the number of people they kill every year??
anyone?
It seem most of you are commenting on the fact that he killed the poor dumbo but no one is actually pointing to the fact that this elephant was ruining the slim crops these villagers had and that they ate it after it was killed because they were starving,
I too suffer from the first world dilemma when I see such a magnificent animal die, but I always take a step back and think about the damage such a beast can cause on a already slim crop and that some people don't have access to food flown from all over the world.
you should stop being judgmental and start thinking not everyone has access to the luxury called supermarket, I would love to see how most of you will fare in this kind of environment,
so for the slacktivist out here. the guy may be a dick head, but the elephants are nowhere near going extinct,
go register to another web company, it will probably make you feel like you achieve something great in your life....here are some data
According to IUCN’s African Elephant Status Report 2007,[30] there are between 470,000 and 690,000 African elephants in the wild. Although this estimate only covers about half of the total elephant range, experts do not believe the true figure to be much higher, as it is unlikely that large populations remain to be discovered.[31] By far, the largest populations are now found in southern and eastern Africa, which together account for the majority of the continental population. According to a recent analysis by IUCN experts, most major populations in eastern and southern Africa are stable or have been steadily increasing since the mid-1990s, at an average rate of 4.5% per year
