Not only warriors of ISIS destroy artwork. U.S.A. laws (about ivory) do the same. Look in what condition Bonhams auctioned weapons aged 200 and more years, from the Richard Wagner collection.
You can compare from their original state in the book "Oliver S. Pinchot, Arms of the Paladins, the Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection" |

It's disgusting.
But I don't understand, if the ivory is more than one hundred year old, they cant do that... |

Senseless, gratuitous vandalism that will save no animals but which does stand as a monument to arrogant, incompetent, lazy regulation and lawmaking done from a 'politically correct' mindset.

A couple of points:-
Bonham's should be ashamed of themselves for having anything to do with it. I wonder where the ivory is now? And do you know, you can still import ivory into the USA providing you have shot the elephant yourself! |

Greed meet Vandalism.
No respect for nothing except money. Poor and hollowly modern world. |
