Okay, so either billions of dollars shuttling people back and forth across hostile terrain in Africa, or say a tiny fraction of that disrupting the market by flooding it with fake or alternative ivory products, which one do you think is a better plan?
I agree, the war on drugs is hopeless, but like trying to dump all the alcohol during prohibition you can't win this by guarding things, you can only win it by changing the economics of the entire situation.
Cut demand, boost supply. If you can do that the problem goes way. Nobody poaches ragweed or dandelions.
