Elephant tusk poaching

Africans will kill all their rhinos then move in to kill the last few elephants for greed.
It is like Africa is selling her soul.    Perhaps even in my lifetime the big five in the wild would have shrunken to the big three and tourists will have to visit continents who value them, like Australia, if they want to see the other big two roaming free.

In the picture above, every two tusks represent a dead animal.   Many who have been killed in a cruel way.   Many mother died leaving their young behind to fend for themselves.
