Elephant Acrostic

Elastic evil in encroaching European’s enterprising motives.
Level-headed land animal leaves African lowlands.
Eventually they are followed by those who shall not be named.
Private collector hopes tusks will not be a mismatch.
Horrific hunters hold hand-held machetes.
Active game wardens wait for the hunter’s hammiest moment.
Newly arrested poachers rapidly chew their pink mastiche.
Threat to tusks thwarted, wardens sit down to taste tasty tzimmes.

Ooooh, poachers and hunters make me want to throw up. I'd love to see an elephant get their first and stomp on their guns. Angry? You betcha'! Apparently not enough game wardens to catch every last one of them!

I wish the animals could man handle the guns.
