<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 346591, member: 5833&quot;]I&#039;ve said this before in another thread.&nbsp; We could reduce the demand for ivory big time if JAMA &amp; NEJM would publish really convincing looking papers saying that scientific evidence shows a man will become impotent if he so much as touches ivory, &amp; then social media pros saw to it that the news got well spread to Asia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ivory that goes to traditional medicine is just gone, completely, forever.&nbsp; There has to be a continual supply of ivory to meet the demand.&nbsp; Unless antique ivory is smashed up to meet it, that means new ivory from dead elephants.&nbsp; Those of us with ivory antiques are just passing around the same old ivory &amp; don&#039;t want new ivory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also wish there were a way to sell ivory, such as the 2 bracelets my mother bought at one of the many sales held in anticipation of the first ban, &amp; have the proceeds go toward the conservation efforts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
