The government has failed to do a re count or to deal with the poaching problem. They instead ignore the fact that this is happening in their country. The government is choosing to bury the information they know. Many people are poaching this animal in use for their ivory. I hear about ivory trade all of the time and rules against it. But in this article it says out of the many cases only one person has been convicted of poaching an elephant. Where could all of these elephants be going if no poaching is happening to be convicted over? This is a very disturbing topic for me to read about.
This article was particularly interesting to me because I like to read about things governments are hiding. I am a type of person who wonders this a lot. The government could truly hide anything they want from us. I also was interested in this article because I have always been an animal lover. It is sad to see this happening to elephants, one of the kindest animals. I refuse to read articles about giraffe's being harmed due to this being my favorite animal! :)
