Poaching endangered species

I get soooo fucking pissed when I see elephants slaughtered for nothing more than their ivory. Whole herds of one of the smartest fucking creatures on the planet dead because some piece of shit is trying to make a quick buck. I'm not very book smart so helping out with conservation projects and research is out of the picture for me. I'm seriously considering buying a one way plane ticket over there to dome these bastards one by one. Maybe I could get some sort of illegal market for poacher skulls going, so the fuckers can know how it feels. Sure it would be dangerous as fuck and I'd probably get trampled by the same creatures I would be trying to protect. But it seems like nowadays I have everything to live for and nothing good enough to die for. FUCK POACHERS,
ps sorry for the rant

If I ever win the lottery or invent/create something that makes me crazy rich, I want to fly over poachers and shoot them from a heli like they are Alaskan Wolves.

I had not heard about that. WP says they are currently in the "least concern" category. In my area there are ridiculous numbers of them.

if you were hungry enough you'd kill elephants. and lets not forget to say fuck China, because the demand is just as responsible for those deaths as supply.

"In 1979, I went on a trip with a lifelong friend who was a Photographer for National Geographic Magazine, to Nairobi, Kenya, for a month. While there my friend Kurt and I were invited to go along with a British Governmemt Wildlife Agent/Hunter that was responsible for locating a "Rogue" Male Elephant that had destroyed several villages a few weeks earlier, and killed a small boy..
On day three the Elephant was located and I got to watch from a distance while the Wildlife Officer shot and killed the Elephant with 2 shots from a 375 H&H Double Rifle from about 55 yards away....
It took 25 villagers over 20 hours to field dress and cut up the Elephant. NOTHING went to waste, organs,fat,bone,even the bone marrow were all used .The Elephant was determined to weigh just over 6100 LBS, and yielded about 1300-1400 LBS of edible meat. The meat was a Dark Redish/ Purple running thru it. For lack of a better description, it looked like blood-bruised meat, but VERY lean with little fat. The exposed side of the Elephant was butchered first than the side that was on the ground was exposed after 40+ villagers pulled the carcass over to expose the side that was on the ground with ropes. I remember the Heart weighed 22 KG which converts to 48 LBS (If my math is correct) I didn't get to sample the heart-meat
The Government Agent advised that the meat would feed a minimum of 240 villagers for a month if it was rationed properly by the tribesmen. There was a big celebration to which I and my friend were invited too. The meat was first smoked over green wood for several hours, then cooked in strips over an open fire....To everyones disasppointment it DIDN'T taste like Chicken...lol The closest thing I can compare it to is "stringy" Moose or Elk meat or even Buffalo..It tasted somewhat "gamey" but it wasn't repulsive. I also learned that the Ivory was valuable 12" Tusks would have brought $800 or so on the Black Market, but the Elephant meat was worth much more. In the City of Nairobi, Elephant meat brought $32-$40 US a pound.(Even more if smuggled out of Africa) Back in the late 70's the average daily wage was only $1 U.S. "
