The scourge of the skin poachers: Hideous sight of a butchered elephant exposes the sick trade in animals' hides to feed soaring demand in China

All because they can't get it up.

This is heart braking, why won't the world governments do something, because they really don't care and only care about money. Watch cowspriacy on youtube to see, how bad we are lied to about pollution, the sea dead zones , livestock, water consumption and on and on.

This has to stop!! We need to take care of this and make this illegal with severe penalties. Animals don't have a voice

Makes me cry

Ughhhhh. Are you freaking kidding me

i wish i could unsee the photos. my heart breaks..

Man will go on taking; until one day the world is no more and nothing left to give;

Cut down on imports until they sort this evil trade out. This race never ceases to amaze me with its forward technology and backward traditions. The people have no hearts for any kind invitation thing unless they can eat it wear it or use it

Disgusting... poachers should be skinned and hung as warnings. Or just turn the Predator loose and let him take trophies.

if the UN aren't protecting Syrians, can't they protect elephants?

Fly Spy Drones to track the Poachers cmon lets use the tech guys

If our job as human beings is to preserve this earth and all its beauty for future generations, then we appear to be spectacularly failing. It is a terrible indictment of our cruelty, greed and vanity.

It's heartbreaking!

These people make me sick!

You have no idea what these people are capable of.

Shoot to kill poachers Imprison the merchants Stop this evil trade...NOW

shoot poachers on sight, use for special forces training, no prisoners.

I can't understand why such an intelligent race can be so backward in equal measure.

There is else nothing for it but these poachers will have to be shot on sight. Display signs in all villages where the poachers are known to live and warn that if seen/caught, they will be shot not questioned.

heartbreaking...humans are despicable !
