I know ivory has a value on the dark market and they prob didn’t want to add to circulation but there had to be a better use of them instead of brining them? Maybe donate them to museums or labs or smthing

If the anti-poachers can sell ivory then it’s only a matter of time before some start poaching as well. All ivory sale has to be illegal or the problem gets way worse

I wasn’t even thinking of them selling them more just giving them to places where they can be studied. Like they wouldn’t make any money from it

From my understanding, this burning was more about sending a message to the poachers and the buyers

There’s not really any scientific use for Ivory. It has not proven effects in medicine and research involving Ivory only revealed things about the poached elephants like diet and age which provides inferior information in comparison to studying live herds

You know what’s amazing to me? What tigers and elephants are hunted for, for eastern medicine or “curing of ailments” has been disproven many times, and yet people will still buy it and fund the trade. Truly awful.
