When and How does this carnage stop?
Is there nothing to be done to dissuade far-away buyers from their evil habits?

This is heartbreaking. Other sites have the actual photos of what the dead elephants look like when their tusks are removed. They have been our favorite animals to watch on our 2 safaris.

This is very disturbing and the main reason there are so many orphaned baby elephants such as those located at DSWT in Nairobi.
