Pick away Ken, elephants are used for food in Africa.  Tigers are killed for the Oriental medicinal market (not technical food but, eaten).  Our own beloved bears are often used for their gall bile for the Chinese medicinal markets.
Many of the threaten sea turtles are still eaten in many parts of the world and used to be a mainstay here in the colonies.  Bison are still endangered and often eaten still.
Audobon killed, mounted, and ate many of his beautiful subjects.  A common practice at the time.
