April 19, 20214 yr The only thing that would make it better would be if they were trophy hunters who'd dropped $50K per head.
April 21, 20214 yr I saw that. Feel good story of the week.This^^^. “Unfortunately succumbed to his injuries”. That was great.

April 21, 20214 yr What exactly constitutes a breeding herd of elephants? Did they stumble onto an elephant orgy?

April 21, 20214 yr A few years ago I was in India on business visiting a mine site in a remote area. I took a late flight on a Thursday night from Mumbai to Kokatta arriving late at night. The next morning we took a several hour drive from Kolkatta to the mine offices for the meeting. As we get to the reception area we asked to see Mr. XXX. Receptionist: He is not here. Us: How is he not here? He knew that we were coming from a great distance away for this meeting. Receptionist: He is at the hospital. Us: OMG. Is he OK? Receptionist: He is fine. His sister is in the hospital. Us: Oh, OK. What happened? Receptionist: She was attacked by a wild elephant in the village last night. Me: For real? (incredulous that such things actually happen) Receptionist: Yes, here is a report of it in the newspaper. Me: May I make of copy of this? Me (to myself): No one is going to believe that I had a meeting canceled due to a rogue elephant attack. The news report is below (interesting wording and grammar): We ate lunch. Got back in the car and drove back to Kolkatta. Took a late flight back to Mumbai. Edited April 21, 20214 yr by mininghorn88

And if the economic incentive of hunting was not present, the locals would just kill them off instead of protecting them as a sustainable resource. I care nothing about shooting African game. But I am sure glad enough people do.

They're killing species off faster than the funds can protect them. 3 hours ago, mininghorn88 said: A few years ago I was in India on business visiting a mine site in a remote area.

Onboard went 0/2 there are 1000 elephants killed legally per year. As many as 30,000/yr are killed illegally. Poaching is obviously the way bigger problem. Edited April 22, 20214 yr by TonyTexas

Go to Zambia and you will experience a total lack of wildlife hardly even any birds either as they have all been killed off by the locals.

Yeah I, didn't know that, don't doubt it's true. It seems like a lose lose proposition. The money they're getting is like sticking your finger in a leaky dam. I got no problem with managed hunting, grew up hunting, animals are delicious.
April 22, 20214 yr Anyone who kills elephants for ivory or sport doesn’t deserve their spot on earth. From a few years ago:
