what to do with?

I struggle with this question too. It is actually a much broader dilemma than Ivory. Take a look at the CITES regulations. Yes, there are some holes in it but basically it prohibits ownership, transfer, transport and sale of a great many items. Most anything that is used in products that are made with materials from anything on the endangered list species. It covers skeletal materials (e.g., bone, horn), skin, fur, sinew, many flora fiber and even fish or marine mammals (such as whales).

My personal approach:
1. Do not buy or sell anything newer than the CITES Treaty
2. Do not by anything when prohibited items are specifically called out by the seller.
3. Don’t advertise it.
4. Keep all written descriptions to a high level (“”horn”, not ”rhino horn”’j
5.;Don’t ask, don’t tell.

I plan to leave the problem to ho comes after me.
