elephants slaughter


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.
