People don't understand that some species are on the brink of extinction due to elephant overpopulation. That is why they have to be culled. Its still cruel, but for the sake of the other animals, I think its definitely reasonable.
Why is it that there is no contraception introduced to keep the human population down in Africa. Why is it in those countries it is somehow the god given right to keep having babies. Why is it then that the rest of the world is then expected to pour millions upon millions of dollars into food aid for a people that add absolutely no good or contribute nothing to the economy. The world has gotta get it's shit together and face up to reality that over population is a big a threat as climate change
@Kiwiguy416 many reasons. Some religions in Africa are against contraception. Contraception is expensive from the point of view of poor populations. Having more children offers economical benefits to many poor families in Africa (extra pair of hands for work). With such a high child mortality rate, more children means the likely hood of a few surviving to adulthood to take care of their parents.
To everyone saying humans should be culled instead of elephants: A) Humans already are culled. If you're just now learning about Elephants getting shot, then you might be a stranger to quiet, violent cesspools of the world. B) Hitler enacted efficient human culling, and look what happened to him. He chose some poor qualities to judge on, sure. But death and suffering is a part of life. You get to choose between hunter, hitler, or behind-the-keyboard-good-for-nothing. I chose hunter.
I first heard about elephant culling while reading Zoo Story. I never even knew this existed! This just screams hypocrisy to me. Does Yellowstone do this too?
@lmo61210 Yes, They do for Bison at yellowstone they sell them to farmers so its not lethal but it is necessary for them to kill a small number every year(50-100 tags are issued I think) on the elk refuge to keep them at a sustainable level otherwise they will have a few slowly, painfully, helplessly starve to death
With all the wealth in the world this should not even be a problem. Maintain the park areas for the elephants. Every country in the world is responsible for this not just South Africa.
there is no good excuse for this, it is sick and sickening. Cull humans. F the tourists, F the local ppl, F the gvot's, F money, F science, F the human brain, it's done good things, and horrible, evil things. F our ego's!!!!!!!
only if i could transport all elephants to the uk in special reservies and if i had power i would make killing and elephant punishable with death sentance
this problem was created by humans, All the problems that worlds facing today (Civil wars, diseases, natural disasters..etc ) was created by greedy humans. Humans need to control whole world and space as well. They think that they are the kings but one day humans will suffer and face a painful very slow death.
they even kill the babies!! WTF! There go humans trying to play god again! Humans are overpopulated and starving Why don't we cull them! We are all animals.
this is so sad =( it reminds me of the book "The Cowboy and his Elephant"....elephants really do have great memory, if they survive they'll never be the same again after losing their whole family....it would be like someone pushing your entire family into a corner and killing all but you....='(
Who in the world do the people who feel that culling is needed in this day and age think they are. Maybe if they left thier homes alone they wouldn't need to kill them. Any culling need to stop.,
What happened to the balls of these "men" that they concocted such a barbaric practice?
I found the remark that science will find out why the elephants carry the bones of their dead quite silly. I'm no scientist, but it's obvious to me - they honour their dead and have close family ties.
hey, do you have a source to prove this...I believe you, I just want the facts =) I was unaware of this...I'm just starting school for wildlife conservation degree and would like to specialize in pachedyrms...so facts are important

WWF World Wildlife Fund does Not oppose the culling of elephants. Beware, if you are a member of, or if you falsely supported the WWF.
wwf also does not attempt to oppose poaching.
avoid the panda icon - help elephants by helping other organizations that actually do help elephants and wild animals
