A different research says, from 2002 to 2011 the known populations of forest elephants declined by 62%. If you or your children face elephant extinction during your lifetime, do not accuse solely the rise of the middle classes in the Far East, fueling a new demand for ivory. One may say so. I say they were butchered, face-off.

It even seems that the pliant researchers indirectly support the fighting (even though it has led to the species being one of the most hunted ones in that province) by developing a quick method to identify the sex of the bird (the males turn out to be somewhat bigger and thus presumably the more coveted fighters).
