It's disgusting. For a so called intelligent race of people the Chinese have some questionable habits when it comes to animals. Not content with being responsible for the wanton slaughter of all the Elephants and Rhinos in Africa, their bloody naivety as to the medicinal benefits of powdered Ivory is beyond me.
If I had the time and means I would pass myself off as an Ivory trader, but instead of sending them Ivory I would gather up as much white piles of dog shit that litter our streets and ground it down into white powder. Let the dirty bastards have a good sniff of Ivory Snuff and see if they feel any better.
The only way to make the Chinese see sense is to hit them in their pocket. If all the countries who signed up to CITES stopped buying cheap Chinese tat, they would soon go off Ivory.
