10,000 elephants face slaughter

The Australian: 10,000 elephants face slaughter:

"JOHANNESBURG: Up to 10,000 elephants are under threat of being killed as South Africa prepares to end its 10-year ban on culling the animals."

There was a public outcry when they culled them last time and there ought to be outrage this time. 10, 000 elephants. There is no excuse. Oh, sorry, forgot. Tusks. If you are concerned about numbers, why let them grow so large? Why do countries always think in terms of killing vast numbers of animals? Why do they never relocate, manage the numbers, sell...whatever. There has to be a better way. I don't doubt the park cannot sustain 14,000 but there has been 10 years to manage this. Don't worry, we do the same with our corellas and koalas because we do not manage the populations. We even let kangaroos get out of hand, but now their numbers are dwindling. As for the Tasmanian devils, well, the poor things are still dying from tumours. We have biodiversity and animal experts, why do we ignore them?
