        It's Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus's fault for deciding to remove elephants from their shows.

                      Probably not. They were hunted mostly for their fat and the meat should taste awful. Only a few people in the world would consider it edible.

                      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                Sometimes I think that there is not very much that would not be eaten somewhere in Asia. By itself, that's not a guarantee for great taste.

                                    Lookit: 0. They've lost the revenue they got from selling ivory, so they need more money. 1. Conservation of elephants is much more expensive when the elephants are alive, rather than rotting away in holes with their tusks missing, so they need more money. It's all very simple, really.

                                      Actually you are absolutely correct! That country is in such dire straights that I can guarantee you any money will not be spent on preserving wild life. :sigh:
