4 things you may not know about ivory poaching

Did you know that elephants have to be killed for poachers to extract their tusks? With estimated 55 elephants killed every day for ivory, illegal poaching is a serious global issue.

Dr. Sam Wasser from University of Washington provided some insights to elephant poaching and the massive global illegal ivory trade when he was here last month working with Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on the 3,500kg of illegal ivory seized in Singapore.

Diamonds can now be grown in a lab artificially. Just do the same for ivory.

How can there be despicable worthless cruel people who like animal hunting and products made from innocent animals is very inhumane and despicable act. Just like human beings have right to live, all innocent animals should also live for good reasons. Why do such despicable acts?😡

Why can’t poachers shoot the elephants with a tranquilizer and saw the tusks off instead of killing them !!?? I don’t agree with this but at least the elephants would still be alive!!
