What does elephant taste like? Chicken?

this is neither newsworthy nor does it belong on hackernews ... of course, one might obviously argue that the voters decide but I argue this reflects a problem with this otherwise fantastic refuge for technologically inclined people. i believe stuff like that should be moderated away automatically and without requiring manual flagging.

That's shameful for all humanity that while some people are gorging, others have to kill and eat intelligent animals.

Hmm I wonder how does elephant meat taste?
