In the Serengeti, a small, specially trained team of rescue dogs sniff out poachers and sound the alarm. Just 4 dogs have helped arrest hundreds of poachers, saving countless elephants being murdered for their ivory. Almost a quarter of the elephants in the park now live in the tiny area they protect -- but poaching is on the rise everywhere else and there are thousands more elephants that still need protection. And it’s not just the Serengeti -- poaching everywhere has skyrocketed in the past year, pushing endangered elephants and other animals even closer to the brink. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/working-dogs-for-conservationwd4c.org/about-us

Nope. Can't believe that. As intelligent as elephants are, they are not able to 'control' the growth of their tusks. Whilst small tusked elephants may not be killed, it would take eons for evolution to deal with it.
