- “What does the Republican Party have against elephants?”A2 That’s a good question. In the last line of the article, the author Andrew Wetzler mentions that the elephant is the mascot of the Republican Party. He may have stumbled onto a motive. Could the Republicans possibly be thinking that if all the wild elephants were gone, then the law of supply and demand would make their mascot more valuable?

ostensibly because that would make it harder for gun owners to get top dollar when they try to sell guns with ivory handlesA. Does that even make sense? It is interesting to see their priorities.

People with rocks, no doubt, kill elephants. Possibly even people with tomatoes. That could explain all of those pink elephants you’ve been seeing lately.and

- I don’t see how you have any standing in this matter (in English, that means “Why should anybody care what you think about elephants”).
The NRA needs to step away from this important issue on the fate of elephants and let the people speak for themselves.
