Hunting elephants illegal?

[steelheadSABO]

So today i was sitting in class and our teacher told us to write a bucket list. So this one kid who hunts say's i want to shoot a elephant. The teacher looks at him and tells him he can't write it down because it is illegal. We replied no it's not and she said i just got back from kenya it is illegal. Is elephant hunting actually illegal? I say no

It may be in kenya but guys are stilling shooting them in other countries. Tags are limited but you can still do it.

Elephant hunting is illegal in Kenya.

It is legal in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia and probably other places that I can't think of offhand.

Many of those places have elephant populations that are WAY more dense than elk or moose in BC.

As an example -- I hunted in the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania. It is smaller than the East Kootenays. There are OVER 60,000 elephant in the Selous. There are only 30,000 elk in the East Kootenays.

You have no choice but to prove her wrong in front of your whole class... Then proceed to add "Shooting an Elephant" to your bucket list.

I agree she has to be shown that just because she is the teacher doesnt make her right all time,prove her wrong and add it to your list.

Provide the information that Kody94 posted to your teacher in such a way that doesn't embarrass her in front of the class. She'll appreciate it a whole lot, believe me. No need to antagonize her. Just correct her mis-information.
