Hippos are nowhere near extinction.

Neither are killer whales.

This is pointless virtue signaling.

Rhinos are not included in an Ivory ban, because they do not produce ivory.

Couldn't care less about wales. And I equate ivory with horns...it's all down to poachers.

True story: while on a long drive from Nairobi to Amboselli and Tsavo I had a chance to have a good talk with our driver/guide...a great guy named James. Not only did he have many very unflattering things to say about Somalis,he told me that the Kenyan government's official policy on poachers was "shoot to kill". No efforts to capture...or drive off. Just bang,bang!

I think walrus is off limits too unless it’s and Inuit art product.

I was once chatting in the break room about getting some mammoth ivory grips for a 1911. Someone asked me “Aren’t then endangered?”
