Stop the elephant slaughter

Protecting animals is our duty. I thought the elephant slaughter was down but am horrified to find it’s the other way around. The best solution to this scourge is to support those who are trying to stop these massacres. I relay here a shocking text and give you a useful link: Avaaz – Elephant emergency

“EVERY 15 MINUTES an elephant is brutally slaughtered for its tusks, and at this rate they will be gone forever in just a few years. Momentum is growing for a complete, permanent global ban on ivory — but the European Commission has just come out against it!

The elephant crisis is heartbreaking. In some areas these magnificent, sensitive creatures are so terrified of people they only come out at night, and mourning baby elephants refuse to leave the butchered corpses of their mothers. Now 29 African governments have said if Europe gets its way, it will spell extinction for our elephants, and they need our help.”
