Title: Ivory Ban
Post by: dwcim on December 20, 2013, 08:04:30 AM

Ivory Ban - The Presidential Advisory Committee that met 12/16/13 does plan to recommend a total ban on ivory sales, within the US, to the task force on Wildlife Trafficking. If you want to oppose that action please email ACWT@FWS.GOV before December 28th when they file their report. This is not a ban on new ivory but rather a ban on the sale of ALL ivory that is in any form. This includes pre-ban and antique ivory in musical instruments, turkey calls, knives, guns, cues, etc. and will make Grandma's piano illegal to sell if it has ivory keys. This sounds ludicrous but it is true. If this passes then it will take the form of a bill that will be set before Congress in 2014. Presently this ban on the sale of ivory is to include fossil mammoth ivory as well as pre-ban and antique elephant ivory. Please forward this information to everyone you think may want to voice their opposition to this type of government control.
