Elephant meat is illegal in the US.
In the United States it's illegal to import and sell elephant meat.
The reason for elephant meat being illegal in the United States is mainly a result of the fact that elephants are protected under international agreements such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species or CITES and also the ESA or Endangered Species Act.
The importing of elephant meat along with other bushmeat in the United States is prohibited to help protect the elephants and prevent poaching of the elephants.
Some people may eat elephant meat in other parts of the world, but it's not common in the United states and is not a legal practice in the United States.
The efforts to protect elephants also include restrictions on importing of live elephants and elephant trophies.
And U.S. Customs and Border Protection also regularly seize illegal elephant meat and other prohibited items at mail facilities and even airports.
