Thailand destroys more than 2 tons of illegal ivory

BANGKOK (AP) — Thai authorities destroyed more than 2 tons of seized and smuggled ivory Wednesday, in the latest move by the government to avoid possible economic sanctions over a perceived failure to tackle the illicit trade.
 
Tusks from more than 200 dead African elephants and other items made from ivory, such as jewelry and statues, were spread across viewing tables before being crushed by a machine into small pieces that were to be incinerated later in the day.

red china gets alot of ivory. 

Who buys illegal ivory, anyways.  I'm assuming very rich people.  So how about arresting those who purchase these items.  Worse than a drug addict. 

No wonder elephants get pissed at people.  Are they slaves, too!
