I think something similar could happen with stockpiled rhino horns, but I daresay that African countries (apart from corruption problems) are somewhat more pragmatic than the IRS. It's a contentious issue to say the least, and differs from the illegal ivory trade in one important way: ivory is a tooth, but a rhino horn is keratin and can grow back. Dehorning rhinos are a common practice to discourage poaching.
