[happyslug]

46. An AK is to weak for taking down an elephant, good to go after game wardens, but not elephants.

Thus the report that this elephant was taken down by a POISON ARROW. Such an arrow just has to hit a blood vessel and the elephant is dead within hours (and some time Minutes). No one wants the meat so the meat can be made dangerous to eat by the same poison (and end up killing lions, African Wild Dogs, Hyenas, Leopards, Cheetahs, Buzzards and other meat eaters.

Cheetahs may be the least affected by such poison, they tend NOT to be scavengers. This is do to their build and small size compared to Lions, Hyenas and Leopards. They will not refuse a free meal, but the other scavengers will tend to drive them away from the kill. Yes, this method of killing elephants has the prospect of killing a lot of other animals depending on the poison used.

Thus an AK may cause less death of Animals then this poison arrow.
