Dear editor, There are so many animals living in the wild especially in the national parks and game reserves. It is sad to see elephants killed in Virunga National Park. Wild animals should be conserved and protected seriously so that they do not become extinct. These animals are a treasure to the country because they are a tourist attraction. If wildlife is destroyed, there will be no reason for tourists to come to the country. Responsible authorities should vigorously track down poachers who persistently destroy the animals. Poaching is criminal and punishable by imprisonment for a long time. We do not want to see the beauty of our natural environment stolen and taken away from our midst just because some people enjoy killing animals for their own benefits. Kiyovu
