The Kenyan wildlife service said,
"The actual value of the ivory is incalculable bearing in mind that it was extracted from 35 to 40 massacred elephants. The haul represents unspeakable cost to our tourism industry as well as the ecosystems... This is a major setback to efforts by Kenya to recover its elephant
population after it dropped from
167,000 in 1963 to the current 33,000." The two men will face their punishment on May 4.
I personally think that this is horrible. The two men must have snuck into a game reserve and killed those poor elephants. I can't believe that anyone could do that. What i do wonder th
ough, is when they actually got the ivory, where the elephants are, and what they had planned to do, if they hadn't been caught. I am glad that the government caught them and i hope they face punishment.
