<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LLace, post: 66720, member: 627&quot;]Suggest you read the Endangered Species Act passed by the U.S Fish &amp; Wildlife Service in 1973. It is illegal to import or sell African Elephant Ivory unless the item is accompanied by documentation proving it was imported prior to 1973. The same applies to Asian Elephant Ivory except the date is 1975. All the time people continue to demand Ivory, the black market will supply it. So the second part of your reasoning is correct. However if the markets were uncontrolled the species would probably be extinct already. So banning the sale of ivory does limit the slaughter of live animals as it makes the marketplace smaller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
