The brutality is there because it's completely illegal and underground. Are you telling me that modern science is unable to safely remove an elephant's tusk without destroying the animal? There's a huge difference between idiots in the bush hacking away with a chainsaw and trained zoologist in a lab.

What will happen with these tusked elephants btw? Would you object if I pulled out your teeth? You would be under sedatives of course. I really want this necklace made out of your teeth.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoAre you really asking me if I'd rather have my teeth pulled out by a dentist or half my face and mouth cut off with a chainsaw? Which of these two would you choose?
- adamnemecek 10y agoFalse dilemma. If you ban ivory sales the odds of you having it cut off with a chainsaw are much lower.
