Reply to "Don't Buy Ivory Objects"

MargheritaMember

It makes me sick to see how mean and cruel people can be to animals in general and elephants in particular. I have seen once a documentary and couldn't bear the atrocious visions.

To hear that even in the circus trainers beat them to obey, is awful.

Decades ago a missionary brought several objects in ivory from China and we bought a bracelet and a necklace. Now it is forbidden to import such objects. But when I weared them I "established a contact" with the elephant whose teeth these beautiful objects were made of and honored him or her within my heart.

I love elephants since my childhood, because in Winter the Swiss National Circus was stationed in my hometown and to go to Kindergarten I passed every day near the elephants and became sort of familiar with them.

Love,
Margherita
