In the article Slaughter of the African Elephant. Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels explain
how poachers are killing the elephants for their ivory. It also explains that
more and more elephants are getting slaughtered each and every day and that elephants
are in danger of becoming extinct. The article includes facts from experts one
fact is poachers attacked a family forest elephants in central Africa this fact
is important because this is what the article is mainly about and because
people should know that the elephants are going through. Another important fact
is poaching is big business, involving organized-crime cartels every bit as
ruthless at those tracking narcotics, arms and people. This statement to me was
very important because people probably don’t think it’s a big deal but it is
very serious to certain people and it’s sad. I think that that the poachers are
wrong and these elephants are not put on this earth to be slaughtered they are
there to live like humans are. This article reminds me of a movie about drug
trafficking when people had to hide drugs in their butt and if they get caught
they will be in trouble this reminds me of the elephants because when they get
caught their in trouble because they get killed. This article makes me think
that everything on the planet is useful and things they sometimes we think are
not important are really important also things should not be killed because
they are have things that are useful for things. This article makes me wonder
how long the elephants were in harm and how many other animals will don’t know
are in harm.
You make some really good points about the world's resources and the difficulty of understanding our effect on them. 100
