was the most gryesome massacre of elephants we have ever seen” Musoke sud “The bullets must have been fired from modern guns not those from the local poachers The acid helped them to pull the tusks right from the skulls instead of cutting them half way using cutters” It was die first reported case of ivory poaching in Uganda in more than three years die said Wildlife experts have warned that a UN decision allowing three southern African nations to sell more than 60 tons of stockpiled elephant ivory would increase poaching throughout the continent Hie UN Convention on International Hade in
