Elephant Tusks

Two Problems: Elephants are being driven to extinction by ivory poachers and the people trying to protect them don't have the money or resources to adequately protect them.

Solution: the government or park service should hunt down all the elephants with a tranquilizer gun and remove their tusks while they are out. Sure, the elephants are traumatized a bit and they are missing their tusks, but I presume it is easier to get by without your tusks than to be dead. When elephants have no tusks, there will be no poachers. The government could also decide to sell the harvested tusks for income to further help protect the elephants.
