    Oh I don't know QLB. I'm sure a couple of elephants wouldn't mind giving it a try. Their trunks are very handy tool. I'm sure there could be a way of rigging up their trunks to enable them to do the pulling! How about a big 'ol African bull elephant?

    "No, I asked about you."

    Cheeze. Doesn't anyone understand facetiousness to make a point any more?

    He’s the same type that wants men with guns kill people who stand by the 2A due to not agreeing with him. He’s to chicken $#%! to do himself though.

    There's got to be a way to commercially farm endangered species to protect them. People could buy endangered animal parts, from animals farmed in a sustainable way, and those sales could go toward protecting the endangered animals in their native habitat. If consumers have a legal way of getting elephant heads and rhinoceros horn, perhaps that will take away from the black market driving poaching.

    Yeah there was. It was called the circus but liberals banned them. It would be very difficult to raise elephants commercially.

    Donald Trump is almost as fat as an elephant.

    Careful Donald. Don't go off by yourself in Africa sometimes.

    Trophy hunting is suppose to provide money for local communities thereby making these animals valuable to them and provide motivation to assist in the fight against poaching, but due to corruption very little of the money end up with villagers while government officials and a wealthy well connected few usually end up with all or most of it.
