I did not mean “poaching” in the formal sense of the word, but in the sense of unnecessary killing animals, not for food or for defense – as a sport (which is IMO a very cruel sport), or for body parts for sale or decoration.
In the first novel, Tarzan and D’arnot talked with other people about hunting, and Tarzan killed a lion to win a bet – not for food (he said “I am not hungry”) or to protect someone. I did not like that part.
Not typical for Tarzan to poach – let alone elephants, considering Tantor was his friend. But this what happens in the novel (Return of Tarzan, chap. 15).
Tantor was one of Tarzan’s best friends, saved him on several occasions.
