Not "advocating". I don't want to see any elephants killed. I have no interest in ivory. I can't understand how there could be people who do not understand that elephants should never be killed. BUt there are. There are people who lie for money and people who listen to them. Moreover people wh

Sandy,   Seriously, is this what you're advocating, with "homegrown" ivory harvesting? Because this is how they get it. They hack their faces off. Oftentimes, since they are matriarchal groups of elephants, they end up leave orphans, who blessedly have no ivory, to fend for them selveselves. Thu

This is tragic and infuriating. Why can't anyone tell the Chinese people that elephants are threatened? If elephants are extinct there will be NO MORE IVORY. Don't they have media in China? Get the word out. Why don't the Chinese import some elephants and start their own herd? They could mana
