Maybe so in the countries where hunting is banned. Roll Eyes

I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf....

It is difficult to believe that anyone would buy this "extinction in 12 years" crap. The math involved in checking out this theory is beyond simple:
4 eles/hour
times 24 hours/day
times 365 days/year
times 12 years
equals 438,000
With over 1 million elephant in Africa, it would take over 35 years, allowing for reproduction, and perhaps more. Some people will believe anything in print.
