La mère si grande s'est mise à genoux pour plonger son regard maternel dans celui de son petit et elle le caressait doucement avec sa trompe. et vous, vous voulez les abattre pour leurs défenses en ivoire ? pauvres simples d'esprit, pauvres arriérés de coeur, privés de sentiments vous n'arrivez même pas à la cheville des animaux. Si j'en avais le pouvoir je ferais souffler le vent de la mort sur tous ces gens cupides que même Dieu a chassé du jardin d'Eden!

Make it a classroom project! Politicians usually respond very well to students. You can make a difference! Gabby,

And it's killing me to see what people are doing to poor Elephants. They DO NOT deserve to be treated this way. As Chris Aggeles said; They are more important than their ivory. I've cried at some points when I see what has happened to them and what is still happening to this very day. It's not right and I hope it will be stopped.. It just shows how heartless,cruel,and mean people are. I find them fascinating and I still want to continue to find them fascinating years and years from now.. But if this keeps up, no one will.

It's really sad to see such beuatiful and inteligent animals die for their ivory? Elephants are great enimals and should be protected from those dangerous and greedy people!

When is this greed going to end. Just can't believe that in 2010 we are still hearing the talk of killing elephants for their ivory. What kinda of humans are we to do such a thing. The US should not support this and can't believe even the thought of this would be thought by the american gov't - whom I have no faith in. The cites delegation needs to lobby against this permanently. Maybe the 2012 movie is a reality, because it's obvious that humans haven't gotten the message how we are one and one with nature. We are all connected - Web of life. When is this all going to stop! When is this greed going to end.

The United States government must vote against these proposals and the U.S. CITES delegation actively needs to lobby against any trade in ivory.

Such an inhumane waste of a beautiful animals life --- nobody is interested in purchasing ivory anymore because of the death that it stands for. Any, and all support to any country doing such a thing should be forever taken away. Thank you. All countries should support the killing of elephants (and other species for bone) for ivory.
