    So now you are wishing for others to die, simply because they hold different views than those of yourself.

    Agreed that it's a complex societal and political issue. As long as these countries remain mismanaged, corrupt and poverty stricken agrarian cultures the need for more and more farm land will be necessary as the population grows as it always does in these places. As countries industrialize and become educated the birth rate declines and the need to turn more and more wild lands into agricultural wastelands also declines.

    In the eye of the beholder I guess. A four year old boy has teeth but it's a baby to me.

    I'll hazard a guess that you'll continue dropping one point after another and failing to address the arguments provided.

    That's what everyone does, right? Evangelicals, catholics, white supremacists, mormons, everyone hates everyone.

    Baby elephants do have tusks in a similar way that humans have milk teeth. The first tusks fall out by about one years old and new tusks then grow at about 7 inches per year

    Poor comparisons with no relation to wishing death on someone who causes death on an innocent. Anyone who could smile and take trophy pictures after killing a baby elephant needs to be removed from society

    Ethically I absolutely agree. What can we do? The poachers want to kill all animals down to the last lizard for the exotic trade industry. The entire thing just confirms to me that this version of human beings is a disease.

    For the life of me I dont understand why religious people are afraid of the plague that God will send some day...it's quite clear that plague is us.

    I agree about the elephants.

    What about those who wish death on other humans? Is that better or worse than wishing death on helpless animals? Worse, in my view. The Nazis were worse than the elephant hunters, and so are the people I mentioned.

    When do you think these countries will become educated and decrease birth rates?

    Elephants will sprout wings first.

    Nobody hires the hitman. It's the hitmans wish to go shooting at something for his pleasure to have killed something for the fun of it.

    Such is the world of Trump we're living in.
    Don't be such a snowflake over it.

    No there is nothing wrong with any of them. It’s a free country to write whatever one wants. But the reader should be able to have discernment and ability to differentiate between logic and emotion.

    Lots of domestic of course, but (wild) lionesses will adopt the young of other females.

    My articles are both founded on numbers and so logic.
    The other article that supposedly debunks is... has non of that, and is just emotion.
    And you're not able to dispute that.

    Not sure how you can equate Catholics, Mormons and evangelicals to Nazis

    My point is that would be a better solution than herding the last remaining elephants into smaller and smaller areas but yeah the reality is that sadly ain't gonna happen.

    The country makes money off of the killing of the elephant just like the husband makes money from the insurance policy on his wife after the hitman he hires kills her. In both cases the country and the husband are culpable in the murder.

    Always fun to watch the left behave badly and then blame Trump for their bad behavior.
