Over 300 were poisoned by poachers who put cyanide in their drinking water. Elephants are not the only animals who have been killed and affected by this. Animals would eat the elephants body and then they would become contaminated and die. The tusks of the elephants were ripped out by the poachers once they were dead. The poachers knew that the elephants would be attracted to the salt because they need salt to survive. 14 people have been arrested so far. 9 alleged poachers were among them, and a South African businessman was thought to be the person behind the poisonings.
