Americans are too busy feeding feral cats and sheltering stray dogs to worry about poachers killing Elephants.

Actually I for one am very much against poaching, if any Americans are caught poaching, I am all for them serving a prison sentence.

I realize you know nothing about this but let me clue you in. The people poaching elephants are not Americans. I understand that will be a great shock to you because you think America is the source of all evil in the world. That's the problem with you people that never get more than a block from your Mother's basement.

This the first I heard about it.
The story isn't getting much attention.

At least the poachers didn't use any of those awful guns.

When did I say the people poaching these elephants were Americans? Based on your post, you seem to assume too much. There isn't much Americans can do about people in other countries poaching the animals in their country. There is something we can do about people who illegally hunt and poach animals that are from the US.
