Is an elephant’s life more valuable than a randomly selected human? Probably not.
Is an elephant’s life worth more than someone who poaches endangered animals? Probably.
Also, these poachers are usually armed and willing to kill for their poach. The best defense against an idiot with a WWII export AK variant is a smarter person with a much longer-range weapon.

- centimeter 9y agoNo? Scarcity alone isn’t enough to make something valuable.
