Although ivory has been banned from export, import.
There are still those greedy enough to kill these precious animals for their
' teeth' or tusks whatever you want to call it. Ivory I guess.
These people leave the older elephants dead and slaughtered right in front of their young.
Leaving them helpless. they don't have the guidance to find food water and are left orphans. So they are sold to circuses and people who don't know how to take care of the baby elephants when they grow up to be BIG elephants.
Please don't buy ivory. It's the distinction of the majestic creatures.
