Why don't we pay them to raise Elephants under contract and them give the Elephants to the people that paid to raise them when they die.... then make sure that register Elephants are only then sold for body parts.
Turn poacher to raise them... like rancher... longer they live the more money they receive
paid noting when they die ....only value in Elephant are the living ones. ...death penalty if you murder one. or steal one....... only contractor can sell
Good suggestion, although I would not be keen on the death penalty for poachers. Most of these guys seem to be dirt poor. Its the 'middle men' that should face severe penalties.
World Wildlfe have the 'Adopt an African Elephant' program.
