Ivory Trade

[Randy]

The Ivory trade may seem like an age-old issue to be concerned about, but this unfortunate and barbaric practice continues to mutilate and kill thousands of elephants every year. In fact, poachers kill an elephant every 15 minutes for their Ivory – a statistic that should anger any animal lover.

While progress was recently made by a vote to prevent the re-opening of the Ivory trade, big steps to protect elephants also failed. If your desire is to get involved to help save elephants and end the ivory trade, Africa Geographic published a list of elephant-related charities that need your support. Hopefully, we’ll be able to collectively put an end to this crisis, but for those who are worried that elephants may one day become extinct, you can make sure you see them in their natural habitat before this happens by taking part in tanzania safaris, a region famous for its wild animals.

It's disgusting people still poach for ivory, these people need to be stopped and let elephants live their lives.

Ivory is not a necessity. Leave the elephants alone.

The world needs to devalue and illegalize all products that have Ivory. Maybe then people will leave these animals alone.
