Dear President Zuma (from Martin)

Dear President Zuma,

This is why poaching has to stop. It kills elephants. It will stop scientists from exploring elephants. It will cause elephants to not come to zoos anymore. The poachers are just killing elephants for no good reason. Three will be less elephants. We can't exterminate elephants anymore.

Sincerely,
Martin

Dear Poachers (from Cole)

Dear Poachers,

My name is Cole. I know you LOVE killing elephants. It is fun for you and people like you are lovers of money. To have a fun time, you can play sports like basketball and soccer. To get money, GET A JOB. Get a job like a lawyer to make money.

PLEASE!
Sincerely,
Cole

TUSKS AND IVORY by Cole

Hunters are bad to elephants just to make jewels.  It is against the law, but people still do it.  SAVE THEM.
