<p>[QUOTE="LLace, post: 66815, member: 627"]Since the discussion was about selling ivory in the USA, yes of course I'm talking about the USA! Sadly I'm very well aware of the Chinese Market which is largely responsible for the poaching of Ivory. I have lived on 3 continents including Africa, so I've seen the "nuther world" thank you. Did you also know that China and Vietnam are also responsible for the endangerment of the African Rhino which is poached for its horn? They think it contains some amazing health property. It's Keratin. Or in simple terms. Hair!!! My point is still that it is the buying that creates the demand, that's simple economics. The demand is met by the black market supply which endangers the species. None of this makes it acceptable or legal to sell undocumented Ivory anywhere. So what was your point exactly?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
