If no one told you that elephants had gone extinct, would you, or the average person ever know? Being serious here no down votes plz.

I'm all for being nice to animals but tbh untill we can feed "starving kids in Africa" maybe limited resources would be better directed for humans and not elephants (ie enforcing bans / going after black market).

There's a lot more humans than elephants, and a lot of these humans should be taking better care of themselves and their environment. I'd rather my resources go to elephants who are suffering at the hands of humans than to humans who are irresponsibly destroying everything around them.

If no one told you there were people starving, neither you or the average person, would notice.
