The terrifying truth about who and why is killing elephants. This is a shock!

It's no secret that ivory is one of the most expensive and valuable materials in the world. Items made from it have always been classified as luxury. In view of this, over the past decades, a population of elephants around the world has been significantly affected. To preserve and protect these wonderful animals, a ban on their killing was introduced, which, however, was not very effective: poachers continue to work actively in their black field.

In addition, there is another unusual nuance in this trouble: a lot depends on the Chinese ascetics of Christianity, who are becoming more and more here. And the thing is that for the design of temples, the Chinese, imitating medieval Europe, use a huge number of these tusks.

And while Europe, fortunately, has long moved away from such inhuman traditions, in China this terrifying trend is only gaining momentum.
