Elephants who deserve life.

Quit killing the elephants

Target:
To save the elephants that are being killed.
Sponsored by: 
People are poaching on elephants in Africa and around the world. Elephants have a great memory as everyone knows and they remember these attacks by humans and in turn attack humans when they see them. Then  other people kill the elephants because the elephants have killed. But think of this; is it really humane to kill the elephants who attack when in truth it is human beings fault that they even attack in the first place, we are the one's who are traumatizing them to where they must have some way to defend themselves, and by killing the elephants who DO attack we are just giving them even more reason to want to attack. So quit killing the elephants. Instead show them that we as humans are NOT going to kill them all.

So quit killing the elephants. Instead show them that we as humans are NOT going to kill them all. 
We the the under signed, believe that killing elephants who attack is not the way to go, by killing them for attacking you just give them even more reason to attack. Instead show them with patience and love that we are trying to stop this very inhumane way. They deserve the right to protect themselves and their young. They deserve much more then us killing them for what any one who has been abused and attacked in the way they have been would do. So find a different way, don't just kill them for doing the only thing that they can. Please, or eventually there will be no more elephants for the future children of the world.

We the undersigned thank you for the time that you have taken to read this letter.

I think that this issue is important because these elephants deserve the right to protect their young and not get killed for doing so.

I think that the elephants attack because they have no other way of protecting themselves and their young, what would you do if your child was being thretaned?

Elephants are normally very social creatures who morn the death of one of their herd and care for sick members. They do remember treatment by humans and are highly intelligent. We should be caretakers not murderers.

We humans have encroached on their territory and slaughtered them for a few pounds of ivory--who wouldn't attack their enemies under those circumstances. Humanity is to blame for this, not the elephants. They are generally peaceful and only attack when provoked or defending their family.

elephants are a threatened species due to habitat loss already, we need to protect them, so they will be there for future generations.

elephants attack when threatened, or when they remember an attack on themselves, and do it to protect their calves,and family members.

The human species share this planet with the animal species. Animals have the right to live the life given them. I am often ashamed of being part of the human race and sometimes I even feel that man should no longer exist. Mankind have destroyed so much and created very little in comparison, and what we have created has been to serve ourselves, with none or very little interest in how our fellow inhabitants lives were affected. There is no justification whatsoever for killing animals. How arrogant, to even for one moment think that humans have any right over the animals of the planet. It is shameful and has no place in the 21st century. When will the age of the wiser human race begin??
