To wish I could shoot them in the head!

Just watched the six o clock news. There was a report on the increase in elephant poaching in Africa. They showed footage of 9 elephants that had been shot dead and had their tusks removed. The poachers had used kalashnikovs. I'd like to shoot the poachers with a kalashnikov and the people that buy illegal ivory. So very sad.

I think you need to direct your anger at the Chinese who buy the ivory. I suspect the poachers are locals who are probably fairly poor, have families to feed etc. Its the fact that there is huge demand in china which makes the ivory so valuable. We need sanctions against China for not doing more but it'll won't happen anytime soon coz its all about £££££££ and trade etc.
