The Arabs pay a very high price for same inducing the poachers and now all the citizens to slaughter a fast diminishing species. The elephant is slaughtered for its tusks and its tail which makes a smashing fly whisk. One scene here is particularly moving. It shows a huge bull elephant with large tusks being at
