Another absurd piece of "feel good" legislation rightfully discarded. There's literally millions of antique objects out there where ivory is either a key component or an embellishment. Are we to suddenly destroy cherished family heirlooms, unique antiques, or historical items (including firearms) for a bit of ivory from an animal decades/centuries dead ?
Yes, you A-R types, prohibit (if you can ) trade in poached ivory. But your "universal ban" won't work. It renders the whole animal worthless -except for contraband. OTOH controlled game control values the entire animal contributing to the local population its protein and bone and the licensee the inedible trophy. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
