I see a lot of talk on this thread about destroy works of art made of ivory. Aside from this happening in China, is there any real indication that this will now happen in the USA? I don't see any such provision for confiscated ivory art in these articles, though i do know that raw tusks have been destroyed in the past. Is it likely that the US gov't will destroy these works when confiscated, or is it more likely they will turn them over to museums?
