Killing Elephants for Trophies according to Trump

[Yupster]

9. I know it

I love elephants and have read many books about them. "The Elephant Whisperer" was one of my favorites. It's about a guy who brought elephants back to Zululand after they were extinct there for over 100 years. During the Iraq War he flew to Baghdad to try to relocate the animals of the Baghdad Zoo. Unfortunately he died young of a heart attack.

Anyway, I understand how wonderful and highly intelligent elephants are. I wouldn't dream of killing one and I wouldn't speak to anyone who would.

But, my talking and wishing isn't doing much to help them. There is a population explosion going on in Africa right now. The migration of people to Europe is just one sign of that explosion.

Elephants cost a lot of money and take up a lot of land. Those local villagers want that land for their cattle and farms. If the elephants aren't made an economic plus for those villagers they will disappear. In fact even if it's economically viable there still has to be somewhere to put the extra elephants that are filling park areas.

So, I can't understand hunting elephants but I realize that the $ 100,000 the hunt provides is a lot more than I'm doing. Is there another solution? Elephants rip up their environment pretty totally if they overpopulate an area.
