Name: Patrick Mahon on Feb 10, 2010Comments: I ran a student society at Warwick University in the early 1990s supporting the CITES ban, and at the time, and several times since, people have suggested these selective sales of stockpiled ivory. But unless you can absolutely guarantee that no illegal ivory will be sold at the same time, such sales are an open invitation to renewed poaching, with the poachers stockpiling their illegal ivory until the next sale opportunity. I therefore fully endorse Catherine's excellent campaign. Best wishes, Patrick.Flag

Name: Ian Neale on Feb 10, 2010Comments: The poaching of elephant tusk ivory means the death of the animal. Saving the elephant (therefore the ivory) should be as widely publicized as global warming. This also goes for the killing of rhinoceros for it's horn and crocodile for it's skin (handbags for those pathetic celebrities). There are many other endangered creatures on this earth that need our protection for these very reasons.Flag

Name: Byron Grainger-jones on Feb 10, 2010Comments: I live at present in the UK but work in India - where elephants are also under threat. Many years ago i also worked in Nairobi, Kenya. On both counts, I strongly deplore any moves by any country to break the moratorium on the sale of elephant products. Given the threat to this remarkable animal, both in Africa and Asia, I hope to see a permanent world-wide protection being incorporated into international law.Flag

Name: Mark Chapman on Feb 11, 2010Comments: The sale of stockpiled ivory in the past has led to an increase in interest in ivory. Allowing Tanzania and Zambia to sell what they have will have a devastating knock on effect for elephants in the region.Flag

Name: Bev Rolfe on Feb 11, 2010Comments: As a Lib Dem and having recently been to Kenya and seen Elephants in the wild as well as having all my life been an animal lover and convservationist, I wholly abhore the trade in any animals, animal parts and most certainly the ivory trade. Until this is stamped out we will never be free of it. If this sale is allowed to proceed it will set a precedent for further sales of ivory anywhere else in the world.Flag
