I like elephants too, but if the ecosystem there can't support them, what are they supposed to do with them? Would it be better to put them all in cages in cities around the world so we can all gawk at them while they shuffle back and forth on their feet in their cells?

I don't know much about this issue, so I have to trust that the international conservation organization known as the World Wildlife Fund knows what they are talking about when they say that this is OK.

From the article:
Quote:
But the World Wildlife Fund cautiously welcomed the government's move.

"They are doing the responsible thing," said Rob Little, acting chief executive of WWF South Africa. "It is the right choice to have culling as an option but with strong provisos."
