Join Leonardo DiCaprio in Saving Elephants

Hollywood star, and environmental activist and philanthropist, Leonardo DiCaprio needs your participation and support in saving elephants that are still being killed at an alarming rate, mostly in African countries where elephants are already on the brink of extinction. DiCaprio supports the IFAW's Animal Action Education program, which educates young people on saving animals and the environment.

Elephants are killed by humans recklessly for their tuss, used in making ivory. To stop this cruelty, DiCaprio is currently participating in IFAW for this year's Animal Action Week (October 3 to 9, 2011). The campaign includes participation of some 7 million educators, students, and their families in more than 15 countries across the world. The theme for this campaign is "Elephants, Never Forget”. And we must also remember that for each piece of ivory you buy, it’s directly encouraging more killing of the elephants.

Leonardo DiCaprio asks your support in stopping the killing of elephants by refusing to buy ivory items because if we don’t buy ivory, the elephants won’t be killed for it. Let’s come forward and put an end to this web of cruelty and greed. Visit the Kinerta page for elephant protection and act with DiCaprio now to save precious life.

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!
