you know instead of selling it, and then using the money to protect the already existing elephants, lets burn it all making their deaths meaningless, and driving up the price of alive elephant horns.
That's why we put drug dealers in jail for 20 to life right? That's why the war on drugs has been a colossal failure? We're doing the same thing.
