Trunk is out too, since people hunt elephants.

They don't all kill elephants for fun.

Counteracting a blow to the elephant populations.

Probably better for the wildlife if they don't.

Perhaps something related to an existing interest? Help catch poachers etc

Lol... because it will kill the wildlife?

Mastodons are being poached and killed today?

No, they would have to be protected from poaching.

newsflash- poaching is lucrative enough for people to not listen when you tell them to please stop killing the animals(they'll even shoot at you if you irritate them enough). it is essentially a war between economically and ethically motivated people.buzzfeed: [surprised pikachu face] for clicks as usual
