Conservation or insanity

[Josh B]

Makes perfect sense if and only if a few crooked officials are sitting on a stash of the best stuff that was sorted out of the confiscated ivory.  Why glut the market and drive prices down so the government makes a little money off a whole lot of ivory.  When they can make a big show of destroying tons of it, drive up the price and make a killing for themselves by moving smaller, harder to track parcels.  I'm not saying that's what happened, only that it's the only scenario that makes sense to me.  Josh

Thanks for all the great replies fellas.
I hope that it helps in any small way
Doc, I think you hit the nail squarely on the head.
Let the grunt poachers do the work, steal their ivory
then burn some to appease the tree huggers.
There are way to many elephants being killed.
There are satellites, aircraft, drones, heat and audio
sensing equipment and elephants can't hide that easily
with a lo-jack slipped under their thick hide.
Thanks Jo jo
