Save the elephants in the world from the ivory traders
The elephants are going to disappear in the world if we dont act swiftly. They are being poached for the Chinese consumer for wealth and status show off. This must be stopped by world condemnation and sanctions. Stop buying all goods made in China. If even a small percentage of drop off of the west buying cheaper chinese goods were made it could cause a change in Chinese government policy to remove and prohibit the selling of all ivory. Its the greed and ignorance that is fueling this tragedy. Lets do something as a people/human world wide movement and save the defenseless elephant.
Why is this important?

Please realize that soon the only elephants left will be in animal parks and zoos. 70% of the ivory bought currently according to todays NYT article (1/6/13) is bought by the growing Chinese wealthy to bring them luck and show off their prosperity to each other. This is an absurd reason to kill an animal especially one that is becoming extinct. In fact it is beyond shameful if we do not act successfully; this should be a war to save the elephant. Please spread the word to the new secretary of state John Kerry, President Obama, your senators, all your friends, the Chinese government, and anyone else you can think of. This could be a people movement if we make it by each of us of thinking about our memories of elephants and their importance in this world. Do we want a world without the elephant?
