I have not heard any strong connection between the Japanese and extinction of the Elephants. Japanese love to eat Whale of course it had been part of their diet for a couple 1000 years. They also caused their National Bird the Toki to become extinct. They are working on brining them back to Japan using Toki from China. I can't think of any country that has not caused some animals to become extinct or at least endangered. :beaten:

Those groups only showed up relatively recently... I'm sure the U.S. has it's share of decimating animal species off the planet... :sweat:

In France, we killed all the wolves a long time ago...
Now we regret, we try to have more wolves in our forests.

But for the Elephant it's different, in a few years, in nothing is done, you 'll never see an elephant again...
They are killed only for ivory, and ivory is no use except for people who think that they will be the king of the world when they have some ivory in their house, or that their life will be better... If nobody buy ivory, the pride of ivory will fall down, and no more elephant will be killed. ( yes it's a dream )

For the Whales, it's the same.

What about the U.S.??? Boy, we're pretty good at this wiping stuff off the planet business.

Heck, Manny, your own state, Hawaii is considered the poster child for the endangered species list. In terms of Plants, Insects, and Birds gone missing from this earth, Hawaii ranks #1.

Then again, the idea of saving every species doesn't work all that well for me.

Sort of like the Mountain Lions here in California. The ranchers here pretty much wiped them off the fact of the Earth. They were put on the "Protected List" a while back... and boy have they made a great recovery.

So great in fact that you almost can't turn on the news around here without a story about which jogger got eaten last night by a mountain lion.

If they just stick to joggers I probably won't be all that upset about the comeback of the mountain lions. But if they start branching out, I might consider buying those ranchers some bullets.

As for the Whales... okay, let's give the Japanese and Norwegians some grief about going after them. But don't forget... a huge part of the U.S. economy was once based on Whaleing. We ended a number of species of Whales... and we only stopped when we shifted over to petroleum.

Elephants? I think elephants are cool and should be protected. But you also have to realize that they are something of a plague on the land. Large herds of elephant have a habit of turning jungles into deserts.

Well, I sure as heck ain't eating 'em. Ba-dum-bum! Hey, plants, insects, birds, OK, but, somehow that doesn't translate to "whales and elephants" from where I stand.

We're still a state w/0 West Nile virus, so, heh, maybe something's working.

Certain places on Oahu have way too many birds -- any of ya'll out there walk through Fort St. Mall, help me out here; more doves than in a John Woo film, eh?

How can you say that ?
Which animal is cool or not ? And me, am I cool ?
So many animals should be protected.
And Elephant are not turning jungle into desert anymore this the population is 10 times smaller than before.
It's the human who is turning jungle of dessert.

I don't know. Would you lurk in the shadows and then spring out and eat me while I'm out walking my dogs? If so, then no, you are not cool, and I would endorse shooting you.

Okay. As long as they don't want to eat me.

Believe it or not... humans aren't the only species that screw things up.

Much like humans, Elephants are in the habit of stripping a landscape bare, and then simply moving on to someplace else, that they can strip bare.

I don't know where you live, but there are so many animals you can eat you in the forest in US.... :crazy:

For example, Tigers are going to disapear in some years if we do nothing. Shouldn't we protect them because they kill people coming to their " house" ?


But first I was just talking of Elephant and Whales, Elephant and whales kills nobody, and elephant are not detroying environment as we do with our car burning 15 litres of oil every 60 miles...

Who can say that it's normal to kill them to get their ivory ? Come on Japanese, stop buying ivory ! :angry: :angry: :angry:

I think it's sad anytime an animal becomes extint. Now Spiders, mosquito's, scorpions, flies... that's another story. I don't think it is fair to blame Japan for the Elephants after all Japanese are not going to Africa or any of the Asian Nations which have elephants and hunting them. The poachers of those Nations kill the Elephants to sell the Ivory. The Governments of those Nations also do not always do much to prevent the slaughter of elephants too. They should also feel responsibility.
