Stop Ivory Trade, Save Elephants


I find it extremely cruel to kill someone in order to rip something off their body just to beautify your room. Making a showy display by seizing life is nowhere human. But that is exactly what has been going on in form of ivory trade. Large, beautiful, innocent life forms as elephants, which are already endangered, are put to death in order to pull out their teeth for making ‘beautiful’ items out it. Is there any beauty in this heinous practice?

Like centuries ago, ivory trade continues to flourish, costing elephants their lives, the only crime of these poor creatures being having teeth that are seen valuable by Homo sapiens. Care2 tells that elephants are in crisis again as stockpile sales to Japan and China have sent a signal to poachers, telling that it’s open season on elephants. And it means, killing again without mercy or reason to get the business rolling.

But it’s TIME to STOP!

All those who care about life and nature, please sign this petition to urge the European Union against ivory Trade, saving the precious lives of these wondrous creatures that belong to this planet as much as we do.

Thank you!
