With the wide open tundra with thousands of miles of open range, it seems rather strange to talk about limited resources.

It’s not arguable that they are infringing on local habitat to hurt local residents either, because they do migrate over long distances each year.

They can also be relocated if they do overpopulate one area.

Look at our nation. We had buffalo herds across the midwest that looked like a flowing river. Today we have very few left. What a shame.

You are kidding, right? Elephants cannot live on tundra.

“It’s not arguable that they are infringing on local habitat to hurt local residents either, because they do migrate over long distances each year.”

That is not a rational statement. There are local residents everywhere. Elephant habitat has shrunk enormously since 1900.

“They can also be relocated if they do overpopulate one area.”

Nope. No place to put them.

The buffalo herds have been replaced by people, cattle, and White Tailed deer. If you want those buffalo herds back, you will need to decrease the U.S. population by 90%.

Sport hunters are what are keeping African Elephants with some habitat to survive in. It makes marginal land profitable for elephants. Make them only a pest, and they will be wiped out.
