A poachers poisoned arrow
\nShot into the leg
\nOf a male bull elephant
\nThen about to peg
\nOut with hours of agony
\nThat ivory is worth
\nSo much to the poachers
\nAnd the hunters
\nPlanet earth<\/p>\n
Is witnessing the horror
\n4 elephants an hour
\nBeing bloody murdered
\nEach one of them is our
\nTrue responsibility
\nWe must save them
\nWe must try
\nThe David Sheldrake wildlife trust
\nHelp many not to die<\/p>\n
On hand to give their expertise
\nThe antibiotics that can
\nSave elephants that are poisoned
\nOr caught in snares their plan
\nIs costly but they push themselves
\nWhere possible they are there
\nThere have been over 2000 arrests
\nBut The poachers do not care
\nOne bull elephants tusks alone
\nCan sell for 400000dollars they
\nExported to China can really save the day
\nFor the black market traders
\nBut the elephants now are
\nSuffering and may not survive
\nThe scourge now near and far<\/p>\n
35,000 elephants at least
\nNow every year
\nDespite aerial surveillance
\nAnd drones still so much fear
\nPoisoned arrows
\nAutomatic guns
\nSpears
\nAnd awful snares
\nAfrica is suffering
\nSuch losses and it CARES<\/p>\n
And the costs are forever rising
\nThe veterinaries and their drugs
\nRob Brandford the director
\nI bet it bloody bugs
\nHis efforts and his organisation
\nTo save them as they do
\nThey really need our help as well
\nSo help them please will you<\/p>\n
And watch out for ivory being sold
\nAnywhere if you go to the far east don’t buy it
\nUnder any circumstances however good the deal appears<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
