In the southern parts of Africa they have always had a population problem with them in the villages. A elephant problem isnot like a deer problem where they justeat some stuff and leave. When they are hungry and there is not enough food for them they wander into these small towns, which are basically huts and such. They then pull down the trees and eat them for there foliage which kills the tree after it is pushed or pulled over. Then the problem is when they get startled and stampede outand nock everything down in its path killing people. They just don't come in a eat the roses. Not illegal at all in certain areas. The only thing that is illegal is the commercial trade of the ivory tusk. I have no desire to ever kill a elephant, just not me. But there is alot of things that people hunt that I would consider worthless to do here in America too, but to each his own if it is legal.
