Why are elephants becoming extinct
Elephants contain valuable parts such as ivory, large bones and meat. Poachers will hunt and kill elephant after elephant just to obtain these precious valuables to sell or to own. In my opinion Poachers do not care that they are ruthlessly killing a beautiful species, they only seem to care about the price that they will own killing these beautiful animals! .
Why are elephants Getti ng targeted by poachers
