How do people obtain tusks from elephants?

Rudyard Kipling wrote a famous story about how the elephant got its trunk. It was published, with other stories about animals, such as how the leopard got its spots, in a book called the "Just so stories".

The full story can be found by following the link below, but here is a small synopsis:

The story tells of how long ago the elephant had no trunk. The elephant child is portrayed as a curious creature who's questions get him into a lot of trouble with the other animals in the jungle. After asking many animals what the crocodile has for dinner, he goes in search of a crocodile to settle the matter once and for all. When he eventually finds one, he asks the question again. The crocodile asks the elephant child to come closer and asks why he asks such questions. The naive elephant child complies and comes closer and closer with each whisper from the crocodile. As soon as the elephant got his face close to that of the crocodiles, the crocodile snaps at the elephant's nose! The crocodile says that today he would rather like to start the day with.... Elephant child! The startled elephant pulls away, but his nose is still trapped in the sharp jaws of the elephant. The more he pulled the more his nose stretched! Eventually the crocodile lost his grip and the elephant sat down with a bump. At first the elephant child is ridiculed for his new nose, but soon finds that it has many advantages. Soon, all the elephants were making their way to the shore for the crocodile to work his magic! And that is the story of how the elephant got its trunk.
