On the other hand, it is still legal to buy, sell or own Mammoth Ivory, because their fossils have been preserved for tens of thousands of years from prehistoric times during the Ice Age.

Thanks for the insight pertaining the Monopoly with Ivory!!

[@ericswain4177]

Stricter laws of the sale and transporting of Ivory and the threat of banning is propagating the problem.

[@KevinBolsajian]

I can’t believe they are destroying them!! I agree one hundred percent that they should stop poaching the poor animals and everything but why destroy them?!?!? Put them in a museum and let the people see why elephants are dying instead of increasing the value and scarcity of them

[@Miriam-fk9wr]

Kevin Bolsajian exactly, the art work that went behind it is beautiful, I am against the poaching.

All Ivories are not blood Ivories.the so called animal conservator r creating as if person possessing ivory artefacts are criminal, poacher

[@bobby.theone7309]

More than 99% of it is blood ivory today. Ivory was historically rare prior to 1900 and prized due to it's rarity, guns + poaching and killing more than 20 million African Elephants since 1900 is what flooded the markets. If you have ivory before it was banned it may be considered legal but it is still from a elephant that had it's face hacked off with machetes while it was alive, and left to slowly bleed to death over the following days. There should be no joy in owning any object made from ivory, it's especially sacrilegious to see religious objects carved from it when those people [Like Buddha] during their lives would have denounced the killing of a elephant to turn it into a trinket.
