taxman   12 #1 Posted August 19, 2014 35,000 a year are being slaughtered to fuel the demand in the far east for ivory. Given the long gestation period and slow growth to adulthood in elephants if this rate of slaughter continues elephants could be extinct in 100 years.   Way to go humans!

Which animals were they?  ---------- Post added 19-08-2014 at 22:20 ----------  We should boycott all the Chinky Loo take aways until the Chinese stop slaughtering Elephants and Rhino so they can get the horn. We should also stop buying Japanese motor bikes, cameras. T.V.;s and lap tops until they stop killing Wales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tzijlstra   11 #11 Posted August 20, 2014 I hate to say this, but they have been saying elephants were going to be extinct in 30 years before now. Seems to me their expectancy has gone up. This sort of story is the alarmist cautionary tale of those wanting money for their particular cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
