Perhaps some of us care more about endangered species than those getting scammed around the world? Just a thought.

African elephants aren't an endangered species.

Maybe not technically, but the African Bush Elephant going down from 300,000 in 1970 to 10,000 today is a very significant drop.

Right, they're "Vulnerable" (which is the 'best' category of threatened, from the elephants' perspectives)

Scammed and ruined*, and I'd add killed, by way of economic force. Not every death is by way of physical force.

SMH. Downvoted because I prioritize humans over elephants.
