Why do poachers hunt elephants?
Mankind has hunted elephants for a very long time. In prehistoric times, men went on hunting trips to hunt mammoths, which were cousins to elephants. There are three known species of elephants around today. They are: the African elephant, which has very large ears; the Indian elephant, which has much smaller ears and lives in India; and the recently classified Forest elephant. Over the years, elephants have been hunted for two main reasons: the meat could feed a whole village; and most importantly the two long tusks can be sold for a lot of money. Some other elephant products are leather made of its skin, and there was a time when the feet were used to make umbrella stands. Tusks, which are made of ivory, became so valuable that poachers would hunt and kill dozens of elephants in one night, just to butcher them for the tusks. The rest of the animal would be left behind. This awful practice is so bad that there are very few elephants left in the wild. The sale and trade of ivory has been severely restricted in recent years, but sadly, that has not stopped the illegal killing of elephants. The situation is so bad in Africa, that men who are assigned to protect the elephant herds are allowed to kill poachers when necessary.
