It's a shame really. People have been brought up through the ages thinking that we humans are superior to everything else and can do whatever we want with no consequences, it's sad.
i'm crying. we seriously need to do something about this. why aren't these types of things in the news? why aren't more people informed about this? how will we show our children what amazing animals these are in a matter of years if no one helps? i am about to lose all faith in humanity.
If elephants go extinct then I will be in depression for the rest of my life... U don’t know how much elephants mean to me like I love them more than ever!!! I love them so much
Elephants are like the most gorgeous,strong, unique land animal out there. I will seriously be upset and sad if they go extict. Seriously people HELP the elephants!
i had the opportunity to hear jane goodall speak on conservation once. Her message was that to save a species you need to save the people near them first. Programs that reward people for a healthy elephant population will succeed -- for example, if you pay more rangers, give a community cash per healthy elephant, conservation could win. In places where a daily salary can be as low as 0.34 USD per day, small donations from individual conservation minded people around the globe could fund desperately needed human projects in areas where the locals receive financial benefit from supporting conservation efforts. I would donate to this program if it exists.
One of the saddest things I've seen in a while. Ivory items should be illegal and socially unacceptable to end the crime of poaching. U.N. should be involved, especially when an extinction event is eminent.
I am actually crying I always love elephants I even rode an elephant when I was a toddler So when elephant extinct that is going to be the saddest Day of my life
As a result of the dump saying it’s o.k. For trophy hunting, large beautiful animals will surely go extinct, so very sad 😢 We support the animals because that’s the only right thing to do 🦌🦒🦍🐘🦏🐆🐅🐒🎈🌺
Elephants make part of who I am and I love them SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH I always talk about them in school and we have to do something before they go extinct!!!!😭😱😕😫
First The Rhino?. Second the shark. Third the tiger and now the elephant what the fuck?. All the animals that I like are going extinct because of humans.
Tara Khoo You know, the more a resource is rare and hard to find or even illegal, the more valuable it become. When a resource because so rare and valuable, it become an icon of wealth and social standing. ''Look how great I am, I own ''this'' and is worth more than you can earn in years" Boasting, Standing, Awe , Beauty of it, beliefs... There are many many reasons why humans kills or takes things and put a high value on them, like Ivory.
😟us being just like humans that love to eat meat And that's why even 10000 years ago since they hunted the elephants that are called the wooly Mammoths with longer Fur that we is that we use their tusk And elephants are the next on the menu for song these And elephants are Already are hunted for the tough just like the wooly Mammoths the elephants that people hunted And I think that history History of the elephant will emanate his right about how elephants will go extinct By the humans that will make that happen With more hunting if they really succeeded Is growing in population of that country content and that's why elephants population are going down and that's the same repeated history of the elephants called the wooly mammoths knowing how sad that is How Is the elephant called woolly mammoths that went extinct And Murphy and the humans have did 10000 years Ago And this happens today with elephants like our human ancestors have done and these humans that Have still doing the same repeated history over again And this is real And we try to stop them but I think they won't just like in ancient history of our human ancestors have done it Is Is elephant ancestors Have been extinct and you know how sad that is same could be sad for the elephants That couldn't go extinct already And this it will be the same path filled it's the same path the elephants will be in the Exact same way the Wooly mammoth that are the elephants that will be on the same path And they will disappear from the face of the Earth They come in just legends Of how they became extinct how not able to stop The humans and the extinction of the elephants It's like with our human ancestors that have done this to the wooly mammoths the elephants Because what will we do with other creatures are going extinct already And if that doesn't shark you how the elephants will go extinct just like the wooly mammoths Are the elephants That wint estate report and the exact same extension could be said for the elephant when you think about it that's pretty scary to think about that And you know what this is what scares me becauyeah scares me because of how that will be like how elephants will be extinct at that same situation and how we are gonna look only at elephants in the museum Is in the year 2040 I'm sorry people that's where the extinction Of the elephants will happen for Is shorter Is year of that happening With weeks months of that happening already I think this is a wake up call to these people that we need to protect these elephants But you know People that are poachers that are doing it they don't care And even the people that are doing it they don't care either That's like the human ancestors that don't care before after hunting the elephants called wooly mammoths they will do the exact same thing And that will Be the real same thing we're going on this on this path see in this history this history being repeated again I mean you will only be seeing elephants in textbooks And other history stuff of how they once existed. Would you agree people I mean that should make you sad to realize this.
honestly im glad that the dangerous animals like megladons and dinosaurs went extinct but they shouldn't make animals that don't hurt us or anything go extinct
This is ridiculous! There are literally tens of thousands of elephants in Sri Lanka and India, none of them are facing any sort of extinction level threat
We humans are the curse of this planet. We are it’s mistake. We are the ones who destroy this planet we live in, god gave us a planet to live on, yet we destroy it.
Just like the wooly mammoths sounds of them being Extinct just like how elephants would be we would just realize Is half of the elephants are Our life but realize there are no other elephants around And there's only 5 of them Is stink because of poaching or disease And Then dying of old age alive but Is the will soon realize Even is close to being extinct And the last one alive alive that is still Dying from disease and now shot from one poacher And now it Has its tusk been removed This is Is more like Elephant population is over There's where people would say that's Is it elephant population is Over.😓
In the past, people have used elephants for war; I often wonder if that has anything to do with the number of elephants of today. I am actually curious if an elephants meat is capable of feeding people. Not only do humans kill elephants, for just their tusks, but we leave their meat behind without either using the meat to feed starving children, making us worse than lions, or giving it a proper burial. Humans can be considered the most savage creatures on earth since we invented war.
If ivory farming were legal, where you could cut tusks off of animals without hurting them and sell it, the price might drop to the point where it's not worth the risk to poach. It's distasteful, but it might work.
Yeah, I know that. I think buying and selling ivory is disgusting. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone felt that way and obeyed the law? I'm not here to argue, I'm offering a pragmatic solution. It IS illegal to hunt them, yet the population keeps dwindling. I'm saying that if we relieve some pressure on the market, things will calm down. Much like trying to enforce drug laws, the fact that it is illegal raises the price and thus the temptation to do it. So, bringing the price down might help. It might not, I don't know. What I do know is: 1) Elephants are headed for extinction while the ivory trade remains illegal, 2) The high price motivates people to poach when they might otherwise avoid it, 3) Increasing supply brings prices down, and 4) Farming animals gives them more inherent value, so people might want to keep them alive. You have to change something if you want different results. Good luck trying to convince people who buy and sell ivory to feel sorry for elephants.
One thing to worry about is the conditions "farm" elephants would be kept in. There would need to be good laws in place for their well being which probably wouldn't happen :/
I'm ashamed of my country I was born in Vietnam and I moved to America and I go to alpha at school and I did a project on elephants and I never knew that Vietnam was a country that had to do with ivory so much like wow bruh
Here's what you do; since poaching is already illegal, you catch the perps in the act or track them down and you put them in the place of the poor elephant.
😭I'm afraid at this point from where I can Tell how the history is repeated just like the wooly Mammoth ancient the elephant ancient ancestors there is nothing we can do to Stop history from repeating itself.😢🐘
China: biggest market for ivory, that's elephants done for China: biggest market for tiger bone medicine, that's tigers done for Japan: biggest market for shark fins, that's sharks gone
Muhd Hamizan I’m not racist but I kinda agree with you Asians can be cold hearted, delusional, uneducated, ignorant, confused people blinded by their own ignorance
Elephants are my favorite animal if they go extinct I swear I'm going to hunt down every poacher and I don't know! now that I think of it poachers a really stealing teeth that's gross
Stop the use of HELICOPTERS in environmentally sensitive areas. That's how you stop the poachers. You need a license to fly one, right? No license if you cannot explain your flight time in these areas. It only takes a 15 minute flight to get in and kill a large animal, take its horn or tusks, and fly away. The penalty for poaching should be removal of all the poacher's teeth with no anesthesia, then they get to sit on death row caught in a wire snare and wonder whether or not today is the day they will be shot to death in front of their loved ones. Poverty is NO excuse. There are plenty of other ways to support a family. I get physically ill when I see a piano with ivory keys. There are so many other materials they can use to make those keys - glass, for instance. Being caught purchasing, trafficking and handling ivory should also be severely punishable. No slap on the wrist, if the purchaser is a rich person, hit them where it hurts financially, emotionally AND physically. Shame on humans. This make me very uncomfortable being part of the same race that could do this.
we don't deserve this planet-human beings are despicable-all we know is how to destroy the beauty of the natural world to fill our pockets and elevate our status-we are fools and dangerous ones at that-elephants are such magnificent creatures and this murder of a species is a tragic event
Well that's why we have to keep technology from destroying everything if we're not here and the same thing happened if everything everything with build is everything collapses and destroy all creatures That's why we existed to make sure that don't happen And I'm afraid us being off the planet like that will not solve its problem If once technology goes bad pollution will be bad for the creatures and they will be more extinct Thank about it this will destroy all creatures.
Unfortunately, were on the fast track to lose elephants completely within less than 10 years time. It's already too late, were too late to save white Rhinos and those are hanging on by a mere thread, 3 left to be precise. The elephants are next, with the rate of poaching, and how fast they are killed id say we're going to lose them a lot faster than 10 years time.
not a real solution. raise the punishment for killing them, decrease the punishment for taking their tusks. poachers will start tranquilizing instead of killing
I agree with raising the punishment. Im order to make it not worth doing there needs to be high risk and they need to have less demand (worth less or less consumers.)
Decreasing the punishment for removing tusks without killing elephants could help. Sure they shouldn't be taking them at all but you're right that's better than them being killed. It's a step in the right direction at least.
No! Philippines do have elephants but its insignificant compared to others but from what I've read, the role Philippines play is that they do import (and smuggle) large ivory figurines carved with religious icons.
I feel so ashamed being a Filipino. No one needs it. I am so proud of being agnostic atheist because I do not feel any false need to create a false god from a dead animal.
The elephants lost their lives just like their ancestors existed the Mammoths and the Wooly mammoths And all the other elephant ancestors there will be repeated history Posters have done since humans have done it before with arrows and spears Humans are doing it with guns And needs raid is taken over just like what happens years ago where humans have meat trade after hunting elephants And we'll be mammoths the elephants that we hunted And this is why you see them in the museum and same could be said for the elephants if that happened If we don't do something so would you agree people.😔
If ivory is so valuable someone should just farm it and all that extra supply will eventually lower the price enough for poaching to not be worth it. Problem solved.
if Elephants go extinct I will honestly lose faith in humanity.
Same 😔
Rodney Caulk me too
good for you
ya I will cry for weeks 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i lost faith when dinosaur went extinct
It's a shame really. People have been brought up through the ages thinking that we humans are superior to everything else and can do whatever we want with no consequences, it's sad.
we are not !!!!!!!!
***** I mean, we are the ones with farms, pets, car, and the internet....
ChauNyan So?
***** Meaning we are superior.
ChauNyan Well, we have superior intelligence to some degree, but intelligence isn't the only metric by which to measure something's superiority.
They should make Ivory illegal
+Joe Lauriello It mostly is.
ikr
@OGlettuceWEED it's illegal worldwide
Have you not heard of the black market?
i'm crying. we seriously need to do something about this. why aren't these types of things in the news? why aren't more people informed about this? how will we show our children what amazing animals these are in a matter of years if no one helps? i am about to lose all faith in humanity.
If elephants go extinct then I will be in depression for the rest of my life... U don’t know how much elephants mean to me like I love them more than ever!!! I love them so much
I will save the last elephant
We will save the last elaphant
Elephants are like the most gorgeous,strong, unique land animal out there. I will seriously be upset and sad if they go extict. Seriously people HELP the elephants!
i love elephants :-(

UNITED STATES!?!?!??! IM MOVING TO CANADA NOW
Realized that this was years ago
Yet I only heard about this now...
Just a UA-camr at least they’re not extinct yet but let’s not pretend everything is okay because they might not be there tomorrow.

Don’t worry we can save them and bring them back with clay
So they will never be extinct
Humanity is the worst thing that has ever happened to Earth.
This is soooooo depressing !!!
Elephants make part of who I am and I love them SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH I always talk about them in school and we have to do something before they go extinct!!!!😭😱😕😫
We can make elephants made of clay and so they can never be extinct
This is a really smart approach I like it and I hope it succeeds !!
Humanity... Greed is what will extinct us
First The Rhino?. Second the shark. Third the tiger and now the elephant what the fuck?. All the animals that I like are going extinct because of humans.
AKirbtrainer, and vegans only care about cows, pigs and chickens
this is so sad
this is stupid like why would people think this is good to kill an elephant for ivory!!!!
money idiot
Franky a I'm not dumb I know I'm just trying to make a point out of it
I know it's so mean .
WHOEVER IS A POACHER I LOSE ALL RESPECT FOR U AND U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!😡

Elephants are now starting to more likely be born without tusks... Mother nature is saving elephants!!
Incredibly sad! 😢💔😭😟
Elephants is my favorite animal.
If I were working I would pay people to save animals from extinction
😭 very sad about elephants 🐘 ivory
This is ridiculous! There are literally tens of thousands of elephants in Sri Lanka and India, none of them are facing any sort of extinction level threat
It will be a sad day. But the elephants will no longer suffer It will be RIP to them all.
...i might have lost that faith allready...
Poachers must be ashamed 🐘🔫 😭😡
We humans are the curse of this planet.
We are it’s mistake.
We are the ones who destroy this planet we live in, god gave us a planet to live on, yet we destroy it.
I wish we never existed.
I feel bad 😢

I love Animals include elephant but pacadurms might be the first to get Extinct someday I know this seems terrifying
Seriously!
The Northern White Rhino is critically endangered with ONLY 4 remaining on Earth!!!

human is truly the highest predator in the world now
i was born in the philippines and... i am very very upset. ive never heard something like this.
They should use ceramic instead of ivory.
SAD!
WTF NO I LOVE ELEPHANTS
😭I'm afraid at this point from where I can Tell how the history is repeated just like the wooly Mammoth ancient the elephant ancient ancestors there is nothing we can do to Stop history from repeating itself.😢🐘
It's very difficult to change a culture.
Why can't they just make it illegal to buy it?
wow. if they do I will probably cry for weeks . I am not kidding. If they do
then I will be depressed for the restofmy life......

If elephants go extinct we will lose are fiath hope and mostly heartbreakness
what did the elephant do to you
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it's cruelly . the being humans is a monster killers
Those humans and their cultural beliefs towards elephants...
omg!😢
One of those countries are Viet Nam....its my country
There are no elephants in my country but i really wanna know, how can i help?
people... i should go make art out of their bones if they want to make artwork out of a animal.
Snowie May Go to science class.
not in science anymore. in biology
Snowie May I was talking about how in some Science class there are human skeleton on a pole.
oh i didnt mean by that when i said artwork. i meant as in carving in the bones to make it look like the artwork from the ivory
id make theyre face art tiger
We will save and bring back elephants from extinction, by using clay

it's widespread in Africa. .... whereas in South Asia they have future
Whales are in danger too. Two giants of wildlife may go extinct. Sad tendency

It already has been since the 70s
The definition of the word poaching is to kill animals illegally. Poaching is illegal, yet people still do it :(
:(
not a real solution. raise the punishment for killing them, decrease the punishment for taking their tusks. poachers will start tranquilizing instead of killing
StevenGaspard The only individual that needs the tusks is the elephant. So it should be illegal to dismember and/or kill them.
it is. but making a good illegal doesnt stop the supply and semand of goods
StevenGaspard No, but it imposes punishments on them.

Remember me at the zoo
They’ll be fine; there’s areas in Africa that have an overpopulation of pachyderms.
People in the world are just messed up let the elephants be 😢😡😡😡😡
I'm sorry but And if Is the elephant's lifespan is short then there is nothing we can do even if we did save them.
Why Philippines!!!!??? We doesn't even have elephants here!!!!! only few but they are in zoos......
PAINT THEIR TUSKS!
