Yea I heard it all before, the misrepresentations of the "elephant issue" and yada yada yada and the inexhaustible supply of old Ivory. I'll bet every other family has some uncle who went on a safari 50 years ago and brought back Ivory and has a tusk or two just sitting in the basement. Also of course there is a paper trail. If you believe all that then you would believe El Chapo could be held long in any Mexican prison.

This was my business and I dealt with it and the crates come into the U.S every day full of poached illegal ivory and only a fraction is caught. That is where the supply comes from.

The ban is the only way to stop it.
