To have a basic understanding of how complex and corrupt enforcement of Ivory Trade Ban is, this article in the March 2, 2013 NY Times details what we are up against in trying to stop the bloodshed of these beautiful animals. As with most articles I post, be prepared to be outraged. Turn your outrage into action: be informed, write, educate others, speak out, sign this and other petitions. We can save these species if we act. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/02/world/asia/an-illicit-trail-of-african-ivory-to-china.html?hp&_r=0
