This is fabulous news albeit overdue. These restrictions will basically make it impossible to traffic ivory in any way, shape, or form. This is something that should have been put in place a long time ago considering elephants are on the endangered species list and have been consistently over the years. How can people be so thoughtless when it comes to the ivory industry? They are literally willing to wipe out an entire population of Elephants for ivory. It's unimaginable to me that people could be so greedy but now, at least the U.S. will limit the trade of ivory with new restrictions.
With that being said, trophy imports will remain unrestricted. What's strange to me about this is it's no different to hunt for trophies than to hunt specifically for tusks. It's strange that the restrictions wouldn't of applied to hunting trophies as well. Whatever the case. this is definitely a step in the right direction towards a global ban on hunting elephants for sport OR ivory. These creatures are already endangered, there needs to be a on ban trophy hunting across the globe and let's end hunting as a sport while we're at it! This archaic "sport" is nothing more than people satisfying a craving to kill. How in the hell is using a weapon of any sort on an animal considered a sport? These animals are as defenseless as children when it comes to guns yet this is considered a sport? It's sick and disgusting. O.k, it's great that these restrictions are in place but more needs to be done across the globe to save these animals from extinction. I don't want to see the demise of the elephant in my life time.
