Ban All Ivory Sales In the United States

Elephants are being poached at an alarming rate.  They are killed for their tusks.  Trinkets and other trivial and unnecessary items are carved from the tusks.  It is estimated that about 650,000 elepants still exist in the wild.  35,000-50,000 are killed every year.  Or one every 15 minutes.  We must stop the demand for the ivory to help stop the poaching.  The US is the second largest consumer of ivory.  Lets ban ALL SALES and ALL IMPORTS of ivory from now on in the US.  Elephants will go extinct in about 15 years if we dont act now!  Not only will the elephants be gone, but the terrain will suffer terribly and the people of Asia and Africa will be irreparably harmed.
