...as he tried to measure its ivory for U.S. client.

I bet all the elephants are giving junior the high fives today  ;D

Very sad that people still hunt these amazing animals for their ivory, what a waste  :sign-sad:

I'm glad it's illegal to buy new ivory here in the UK, we are doing our bit.

Maybe that elephant belonged to the group "Elephant Lives Matter". :P

Seriously, though, while I'm shocked and abhorred that ivory hunting still goes on, and a small part of me is glad that fewer kills for ivory will occur now that this guy won't be taking anymore elephant tusks, it's still tragic that this event occurred.
