They won't accept only taking a portion of the ivory and leaving the rest for the elephant. The demand and the value for ivory incentivizes an "all or nothing" approach. That's why you see cases where elephants have been poisoned but their tusks remain in tact. It's because the poachers didn't have enough time to get whole tusks. The people actually poaching the elephants aren't the ones who make the big bucks, so they're likely taught by the traffickers how to obtain the tusks in order to maximize THEIR value. |
