Humanity’s true moral test

“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated " Mahatma Gandhi

Stop China from buying ivory
« on: April 18, 2008, 09:30:32 AM »
China is the single major destination for illegal ivory... mostly from elephants illegally slaughtered across Africa. Chinese nationals have been convicted of smuggling illegal ivory in 22 of the 37 African countries where elephants roam.

IFAW believes that if China is allowed to buy this stockpiled ivory it would provide a cover for the laundering of illegal ivory. Prices for ivory in China have increased more than 400% in recent years, making this criminal activity more lucrative.

 
The UK government plays a part in this decision at an upcoming CITES meeting. We need you to send an email to Joan Ruddock MP, Minister for Climate Change, Biodiversity and Waste, and urge her to use the UK’s influence to stop China buying the ivory stockpiles.
