STOP IVORY TRADE NOW!!!

Please SIGN/SHARE (below) to demand that this 'caring' religious leader's religion stops making money from ivory.

For GOD'S SAKE dear Pope Francis, end the use of ivory in Catholic parishes for your iconography.

Please Pope Francis set an example, and think of the world's largest land mammals which have been around for 55 million years (compared to humans who diverged from chimpanzees 5 million years ago). They are the keystone species for the savannah and forest ecosystems.

"These gentle giants are being poached for their ivory at unprecedented rates. In 1980 there were over 1,000,000 elephants in the wild. Today, there are as few as 450,000 in the wild, with possible extinction by 2020. An estimated 100 elephants are killed every day by poachers. It is imperative that the Catholic Church, one of the world's largest religious institutions, stand up for elephants and say no to ivory art."
