Protect Elephants from Poaching: Don't Sell Ivory to China
Target: CITES Standing Committee members
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
In July, the Standing Committee of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will consider a proposal to allow a one-time export of stockpiled ivory to China by designating China as a "trading partner" for raw ivory from Africa's legal stockpile.
Unfortunately, the illegal trade in ivory products is flourishing in China, and rising demand for ivory products in China is fueling an increase in poaching of elephants in Central Africa. A new report shows that the United States is the second largest consumer of illegal ivory products in the world - and these illegal imports come primarily from China.
This sale will only serve to further increase demand, leading to more poaching and more pressure to end the ivory ban - which would be devastating for Africa's elephants. Send an email today to tell the North American and European members of the CITES Standing Committee to protect elephants by opposing this proposal to designate China as a trading partner for raw ivory.

I’m sickened and disgusted. Please stop the Holocaust already!! Animal Abuse and Sick Behavior. The World Is Watching You and we will take action.. How do you sleep at night? People who do these things to innocent animals (who scream and cry and feel the pain), should be arrested and put in jail. And I will work on this to happen.

Elephants should be left alone. They should not be killed for their tusks- that is completely savage and sickening.

The selling of Ivory to China is just wrong ! These elephants are killed for money and then their families mourn them just as we would for our families ! It is immoral and shameful and must come to an end.
