In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strndberg and Flona Maisela is about Elephants being killed so their tusk can be used to sell for different things. One other thing is the way the elephants are being killed.

          In a lot of countries in the far East demands have been rising for ivory trinkets which are made of elephants tusks. This elephants are being killed off to make ivory and will be soon pushed to extinction and they are needed for other things. They make trails that are used by other animals and spread large amount of seeds.

           What they are doing to this elephants should be said some thing about.  They are mistreating these animal and killing them off faster then it should be and they our doing this for money. .Elephant are important to their habitat they help us and other animals to live. All animal play a part in life to other animals and people these Elephants have a life and family to just as we do to. A baby elephants can know his or her dad or mom is gone. They not parents as much as a human needs theirs so why do this is what i ask.
