Elephant poaching in India

Ivory
Elephants exist in India.
So, of course they are poached in India also.
But why are elephants poached?
Well, they are poached for their ivory and sometimes meat. I never knew that elephants are sometimes poached for their meat! Do you think elephant meat tastes good?

 Ivory is prized for its close-grained texture, mellow colour and pleasing smoothness. It is also a wonderful material to carve.
Did you know how many elephants are left in the wild?
There are about 50,000 elephants left in the wild in India.
And I forgot to tell you this earth shattering fact!
In India only male elephants have tusks and are poached, there for  there are more females then males, and this will give problem for the breeding of elephants. Poor elephants! Poaching gives them lots of trouble.

Do you know who is Veerappan?
He was a bandit or robber in Karnataka (india).
He poached 200 hundred elephants and smuggled ivory.
Orrisa was famous since the time of king Ashoka for its big number of elephants. But the sad thing today is that Orrisa's number of elephants has reduced, soon it will stop being famous for its elephant population because of poachers.

If you want to help elephants don't buy ivory.
