Thank god for people like Benjamin to show that even one person sacrificing can make a difference.

I did spend half of my life in Kenya. It is a animal and nature wonder. If only the hunting for money would stop!!! I don't blame the smal money-earners, but the ones who make big business with animals , as in 15 years nobody might be able to see elephants, ((leopards) etc very sad.

NEW RICH CHINA= as people progress in China they want items like tusk, move the animals to a safer location , teaching animals to escape poachers is evolution, for every single elephant killed a part of my soul is killed , I would risk my life if i had the chance to save an elephant . I KNOW AN ELEPHANT WOULD RISK ITS LIFE TO SAVE ME Can someone please stand up and save them .. please let the record show that I an American disapprove tremendously of the killings of elephants in Africa
