<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 325502, member: 5833&quot;]As I have expressed elsewhere, when I acquire antique ivory, I feel I am honoring the sacrifice.&nbsp; It&#039;s not the existence of pieces like these that is driving the market demand that leads to the poaching.&nbsp; Making trade illegal is only going to mean an underground market.&nbsp; The poachers get so little pay, it would probably be cheaper &amp; more effective to give would-be poachers a stipend than to have wardens, who have an impossible (&amp; dangerous) job &amp; cargo inspectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
