I have always wondered if the tusks could be mostly removed without killing the animal.

0bama operates with the logic and maturity of an eight year old.

Ebony became jealous. That’s why!

Where is Congress in all this?

“Where is Congress in all this?”

Congress? Whats that? /s

[nixonsnose]

they wont stand still when you are sawing them off.

[MeshugeMikey]

whats to become of all those old LPs?

[Jewbacca]

Of course, you will still be required to pay the tax on the items, even though they have no value.

Seriously. This happened with some art that had a bald eagle feather on it -— cost the heirs millions.

Congress seems to have gone on permanent vacation. Unfortunately they don’t have the decency to leave the Capitol building.

“I have always wondered if the tusks could be mostly removed without killing the animal.”

You might as well kill the elephant if you are taking the tusks. You’d be crippling them and then sending them back into the wild to be prey for the lions.

Well, that still makes him 2 years older than Pelosi, mentally speaking.

[liberalh8ter]

Obama doesn't have the authority to do this.....either.

[Paine in the Neck]

I have always wondered if the tusks could be mostly removed without killing the animal.

In these days of growing human ears on the backs of mice, you'd think someone would bioengineer some means of growing ivory sans elephant.

[TigersEye]

They’re working on it but at a certain point the tusks crush the mice.

That’s easy, Comrade. Gold, land, etc. What do you have?

[Gabz]

Just who does he think he is??????????

I kow - rhetorical question.

Interesting. My Father-in-Law has a large collection of Netsuke that he recently sent to auction. The dealer quietly returned all of the ivory pieces to him and stated they were not allowed to be put up for sale, even though they have paperwork and were totally legal when purchased. He pretty much has to just sit on these pieces or risk big trouble. The money they could have brought in would have been a huge help.

I should have known Obama was involved in some way.
