Obama Criminalizes Antique Dealers and Endangers Wild Elephants

Obama Criminalizes Antique Dealers and Endangers Wild Elephants: "From the mid-1800s on, hundreds of thousands of African elephants were slaughtered for their ivory.  Their valuable ivory tusks, some weighing as much as 200 pounds each, were collected and the rest of the elephant was left to rot in the sun or for scavengers to feast on.  The ivory was used for many things such as piano keys, to ladies combs to various ornate pieces of carved artwork."
