Ivory Trade Is Destroying Our Ecosystem

Adornments make from animal tusks are naturally beautiful. Stuffed leopards or tigers used to be fascinating in living rooms. Tusks or horns hanging on the wall while owners breathed in unwholesome admiration that made them unwholesome. He was just an innocent child not knowing he had just begun to trail

and witness Man’s selfishness, deeply buried in inhumane pleasure, paving the path to our current endangered ecosystem. The child’s naïve belief in nature’s eternal beauty horrifically reduced to rumbles, like that of an ancient temple, utterly annihilated the faith, the hope for those participate and perpetuate these atrocities, inside a grown-up blogger in only 40 years.

So many species from above the sky to the ocean bottom are either seriously endangered or drove into extinction. An ecosystem includes every living thing on the planet, all interdependencies between every living thing, a co-existence, which without it shall be us, the human beings who will suffer eventually, inevitably. Encouraging poaching for luxury goods by provincial interests is uneducated, parochial and an apostate in human values. The wealthy, the powerful, misled parvenus, witchdoctors and unlearned self-proclaimed doctors, the entire misinformed community are the source of interests to kill and poach that destined the current shocking genocide in our animal kingdom.

The blogger, while took time to google for images of targeted animals with tusks which mostly are elephants, and others are hippopotamuses, walruses and narwhales (click here for narwhale, Wikipedia), some images came across depicted the face and tusks being chopped off, dead or alive.

One gruesome image of an elephant bent on knees without face and tusks waiting a painful death. An animal that exhibit mirror self-recognition among peers of dolphins and apes. Please read more, Elephants in Wikipedia!

The blogger sorrowed,
 
"Elephants are among the most intelligent animals, how can a human execute such an act? I pain to learn of poverty but my heart bleeds for the elephant"

Then he thought,

“It is not the animals that cause the severity of climate change, it is humans whose insatiate greed and evil traits that turbocharge the severity;

It is not the animals that need to be tamed and caged, it is humans who need to be educated and contained of this indispensable co-existence.”
