Slaughters of The African Elephants

Slaughter of the African Elephants
By:Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels

In the article " Slaughter of the African Elephants" written by: Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels its talks about how forest animals over in Africa and animals in general are being butchered. They also talking about the percentage of animals that is disappearing where to.

In the passage it says "A staggering 62 percent vanished from central Africa between 2002 and 2011, according to a study we have just published with 60 percent other scientist in the journal PLoS One. It was the largest such study ever conducted in the central African forests, where elephants are being poached out of existence for their ivory.It also stated "Both forests and savanna elephants, thought by some biologists to be separate species, have been killed off by poachers across vast area of Africa, though it is the forest elephant at this point that is being pushed to extinction."

I think they shouldn't kill the elephants or other animals because I feel as though if their not bothering you, leave them be. Believe it or not animals are entitled to freedom the same way we are. If they are not harming you leave them be.

Well, just like life is today innocent people are getting shot and killed. My mom god brother lived in South Philly. One night he decides to walk to the poppy store his friend walked with him.it was roughly around 9:45pm that night he was approached by two dark skinned males. They realized they were approached because it was a mistaking identity, but the two African American males took upon they self to still take they life just because....They were innocent and wasn't harming anyone. Our generation is killing each other over nothing just to own a reputation on the streets.

This article is really an eye opener. It helped me realized its not just people that is being killed just because people feel like its right to do, but because they feel like it. Animals are being killed to for no reason. Freedom was granted for a reason and those who take it for granted looses it.

Do you think the animal killing need to stop?, How do you feel about it?, Do you think elephants are permanently extinct?, Do you think they were harming their killer?, let me know what you think about it.
