Elephants should just hand over their ivory when being held up then no need for the robbers to shoot them

Golden opportunity for someone to accept bribes to allow the sale of it . No ban on ivory = no bribes . Sooner farming of elephants is done on a scale big enough to supply enough ivory for the current demand the better .

I have some elephant ivory.

I found it on old piano keys, on an antique piano that was dumped and broken.

I was doing schrimshaw on them....

It just seems wrong to destroy them.

whitelily1: Some asian country are an animal eaters like dog, cat, snakes, frog etc.. name it the animal you never think people cant eat !
In my country some people still hunting turtles and its eggs!
Korea is the biggest country in the world for consuming dog..
So, my advice.. Dont come visit asia or they will serve you with dirty food or even the asian can eat you! Some part still maintain canibal !

China is a big and very modern country now, after they open 7 gates to enter
China. I admire GuangZhou!
Many european people live there and do trading with China.
I never know a German really hate china becos they eat dogs? laugh


Is it wrong to kill cats and dogs and turtles and snakes... for food but it is ok to kill horses, donkeys, chickens, cows, dears, ... ? Not that I would choose any of them if I have other choices to feed on -these times-.

I wonder is the lady protesting for the killing of animals in China wears plastic shoes and her bags are made of plastic as well assuming she is a vegetarian and if she can afford a nice car I wonder if his car's seats are covered with plastic as well.

China has many issues to overcome, besides the gov is one thing and the people is another and the Chinese people has not the freedom that people have in "more developed "countries.

btw here too some people eat snakes, armadillo, iguana, field rats, .....and the "nose-to-tail" cuisine trend has been a rule here for centuries.

quack,quack

Everyone has their personal issues, for example forbidden to eating pork in a moslem countries.
But we do accept that as their beliefs or way of life or tradition thats it. Live with that or not its a personal choice.
But to confront and judge the country and its people with such opinion openly i think it is wrong.
You have to see and undrstand theyr living situation and the caused why they implement such methods or activities.
And of course the lady must check about China contribution in trade sector industry to Germany! Every year 50% Germans trader are visiting Canton market festival ,looking
for materials industry, including food like candies.

@Life, the same here, we live in amazing and wonderful country

Categorizing a whole and big country because some people eats dogs and "dirtiness" shows just a narrow vision to see the world.

I have never been to China but some of my close friends (wife and husband) have and they have been to some amazing places and they enjoyed it a lot and were really impressed with the hospitality/food/clothing to the point that it was even a bit uncomfortable because the Chinese people wanted to please them every moment of their staying. She even bought a beautiful silk blouse (silk comes from lots of insect's pupae and no body complains grin ). Another friend, married a Chinese man and he was a "macho" type and she was able to see the everyday real life in China and yes they need to improve many things, specially human rights but so do we.

"..we live in amazing and wonderful country."
Yes, we do.
