#6 Essay on an issue presented in the four tusked elephant following the structure outlined by Toulmin.


Animal hunting and poaching is a serious crime. As seen in Armand Denis’ The four-Tusked Elephant, if a person is determined to do something for his sake, whatever the way is, he will end up doing it.
Many animals may have lost lives for his search for the Four-Tusked elephant.

The constitutions of different countries grants protection to these animals. And for the people trying to poach these animals, the constitutions grant severe punishment, which is imprisonment or fine.
