Poaching has led to tuskless elephants

[Catherine]

Elephants evolved with tusks for a reason. Tuskless elephants may find life harder. Any mutation that kills off the males is definitely a problem. The herd may seem safe from poaching for now, but in the long term there may be some serious health concerns. Certainly the lack of healthy males is going to be a problem.

It would be better to deal with poaching and find a way to end it. That way elephant herds can return to a normal balance.
For the good of all of us, the illegal wildlife trade has to stop.
