This seems to be so true...great write...so sad that many species are being devastated...but in this case, the poacher don't share their money with the poor villages and only a few reap the benefits....come read my Queen Alexandra when you have the time.

Teddy, a great interpretation of the photo. The only elephants we see here in the US are at zoos and circuses. However we have our share of greedy poachers also. Good luck in contest and Peace my friend:)
