Trinkets. A species is continuing to be decimated for trinkets. There are laws being broken, majestic, family-oriented, intelligent animals being brutally slaughtered, and buyers willing to face fines and jail time (I hope, anyway), so people can wear trinkets. So proud to be a part of the human race.
Good ....
No art can give life to thousands of slaughtered elephants.
Boycott every article made of ivory. Artists, refuse to work ivory!
