<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 4090469, member: 8708&quot;]One of the things I love about this forum is the intelligent discussion and questioning of why,where,when and who. </p><p>Reasoned putting forwards of facts and beliefs open to discussion and change that lead to a conclusion. </p><p>Ranting, rudeness and trampling on others views without actually listening and hearing what they are saying will never win your cause ShellacJack. In this case, listening to how the replacement Ivory was responsibly sourced from old pieces. That is the important bit - old NOT new and responsibly sourced. </p><p>An intelligent and reasonable question would be ‘how do you know it is old/vintage/antique ivory?’. That would invite discussion and education and maybe open minds.</p><p>No one on this forum agrees with sourcing modern ivory. Old ivory is just that, old, elephant dead, too late. Shocking and abhorrent but to then destroy what is left that is beautiful is also wrong. </p><p>If I was an elephant who was killed for my ivory I would be even more distraught that the one thing of beauty to remind people of how important it is that modern ivory poaching is stopped was destroyed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
