They used AK's too. Imagine how many bullets it took to kill just one of these things.
Miserable shit.

Very true but still, I think these type of people are more along the lines of "open fire" instead of trying to have the animal put down easily. They're fucked up savages.

we're already the most advanced species to walk the earth, possibly in the solar system, not like we could've at least gave them a chance.

Haha

I fucking hate people so much. I really want to believe that people arent evil beings, and I understand that the ivory business is pretty lucrative, but... do these people have no heart at all? The things people will do for money will never stop disgusting me. A friend of mine shared a photo a few weeks ago of a mutilized dead elephant and I for real started crying when I saw it.

Ebony is a tree. Ivory comes from elephants.

elephants have been my favorite animal my entire life, and stuff like this just makes me sad. (dumbo was my favorite movie of course)

I wish it was possible to just like...set aside a giant protected area in the US or Canada and ship as many elephants over as possible and be like ok...this is where elephants live now. You fucked up your chance, rest of the world. Now they're ours.

But there's a reason they aren't there naturally so I guess it wouldn't work.


Although I did read awhile back that they've noticed newer generations of elephants have started having smaller/no tusks as a result.

I'm sure poachers have killed many more than 28 Elephants.

But in our own solar system ? I mean, it may be slightly arrogant to assume we'd know if there was civilizations on a planet in our solar system, but I'm going to assume so anyway. Outside of our solar system I have no doubt that there is some sort of advanced civilization. The universe is just too vast for us to be alone.
