Take action here and now! Today the majority of MEPS condone this!
All for human kind 'indulgence'. url below. For some years, I've laboured under the false notion that we and I mean the world populations living at peace, already had a global ban on ivory and whatever trade there was continued only in the shadows! So what is the EU position on this! Well Avaaz report this morning...
"Momentum is growing for a complete global ban on ivory -- but the European Commission has just come out against it!" Incredulous... barbaric. Please forgive me for posting this terrible image and I understand there is so much barbarism to people and children in the world but the fact that we in Europe appear to have never managed to help bring the strongest support to a ban beggars belief. We must expect a basic decency in nations that claim and pride themselves to be civilized nations. Nothing progressive here and no wonder there is a market for this misery in some parts of the world.
Avazz continue... "The elephant crisis is heartbreaking. In some areas these magnificent, sensitive creatures are so terrified of people they only come out at night, and mourning baby elephants refuse to leave the butchered corpses of their mothers. Now 29 African governments have said if Europe gets its way, it will spell extinction for our elephants, and they need our help." Take action...

Why? BBC Newsround Oct 2015 reports "In China and Hong Kong, ivory is seen as precious material and is used in ornaments and jewellery. It's also sometimes used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Some rich Chinese people think that owning ivory makes them look more successful. Others think that ivory will bring them good luck.
China has the biggest ivory trade in the world and wildlife experts believe that around 70 per cent of the world's ivory ends up there.
Are things changing? "This year China agreed to ban ivory tusks and ornaments coming into the country for twelve months.
The government has said it wants to completely ban ivory sales soon but it is still legal to sell older carvings and ornaments.
Some people don't want ivory to be banned in China because they say that carving it is an old Chinese tradition that should carry on.
But more and more people in China disagree. A recent survey found that 95 per cent of people there wanted ivory to be banned to protect the elephants."
