The elephant population is being decimated due the ivory trade, which we all thought was over and had been banned years ago, but you are mistaken, like me, I found out a few months ago that it is worse now than ever before. Not only the ivory trade is booming in China, but in thailand they are treated cruelly in the logging industry, and the babies are taken from their mothers and trained without kindness or mercy - only with cruelty. Please sign as many online petitions as you can and it does make a difference. Here are a few links:

If we all sign up to these petitions to stop this barbaric cruelty, mainly for greed in the ivory industry, these petitions go to the "people in power" say the UN to keep these bans going. If the root cause was taken away, high earnings for the ivory, then the poachers would not be interested in killing them. Each tusk can earn thousands of pounds and I have heard that one tusk can have the value of £50,000. (Same goes for the rhino horn). The Chinese believe that this can cure all sorts of human ailments.
So let's keep up the good work of signing as many petitions as we can, because each petition requires thousands of signatures to have any
