Slaughter of the Elphants

The article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strindberg  and Fiona Maisels is about how hunters are killing lots of elephants in Africa for ivory. It talks about how elephants are dying and what can people do to prevent elephants from dying.

In the article it says that the hunters/poachers are killing the elephants to use their tusk for ivory, so that the people in Africa can sell it to the people in China for money or something in return. In the articles it says that 62 percent of elephants went extinct from central Africa between 2002 through 2011.

I think that they should stop killing elephants. Killing these elephants is like killing them selves, because elephants play a big part in nature. The help with giving the world fresh air, and without fresh air we can't breath. Over in Africa it's hot. I think being hot and have no air couldn't be good mixture of any sort. I think what these Africans are doing to these elephants will hurt, not only Africa but the whole world, in the long run.

This article makes me think that some people don't care about what is happening over in Africa. That China and other countries on the Far East don't care about the elephants as long as they're getting their ivory. I notice that some people care because their is an article about it. This needs to stop. When they are killing these elephants they are killing nature, and by that they are killing other spices.
