Reply to "Don't Buy Ivory Objects"

yokoMember

Humans have been incredibly cruel to elephants for a very long time. They have been tortured in circuses and slaughtered for their tusks.

Holly Bowman, a captive animal specialist with a master's degree in animal behavior, showed CBS4 a video compilation of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey elephant handlers. Hitting, poking, and disciplining elephants, both old and young.

I have never bought any objects made from animal tusks and will never even consider it.

Thank you for the enlightening and informative post.

Here is a little baby elephant who is allowed to experience a little happiness.
I borrowed this image from Sue's post, I hope you don't mind Sue. I fell in love with it immediately when I saw it.

Love,
