Poaching is when people kill elephants for their ivory tusks. And then, they trade it for money. When they kill elephants, they leave the dead bodies for nothing. That's what I hate. You need to stop it!
In the circuses, they beat elephants, too. Why do they do that? They make them do tricks and if they don't, then they starve them. Some elephants have even been killed by them! Do you like circuses now?
Thank you for helping elephants. I know you will. You can give money to rangers who help protect them. You can also be nice and give them snacks at the zoo. You can give money to zoos so they have a safe place to live. This is how you can help elephants stay alive.
Effects of Poaching
Elephants are killed for their ivory tusks.
Poachers only take the tusks and leave the bodies behind.
Greedy poachers will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this information, especially the part about the cruelty against animals committed at the circus. I will think twice before I visit another circus! You're website is very informative and I feel prepared to fight against poaching and violence against elephants.
Thanks,

Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteI really hope you're right about the zoo being a safe place for elephants. If the circus is such a dangerous place, that makes me suspicious of zoos, too. Do you think they beat or starve them there? How could I find out more information?
