I buy from David Warther. This is the letter he sent to all his customers. I clicked on this email address and expressed my opinion about a total ban. I see a reason to ban elephant ivory if it will slow poachers but I can't see any reason to ban fossil ivory.
Hello Everyone!
Ivory Ban - The Presidential Advisory Committee that met 12/16/13 does plan
to recommend a total ban on ivory sales, within the US, to the task force on
Wildlife Trafficking. If you want to oppose that action please email
ACWT@FWS.GOV before December 28th when they file their report. I have
attached a letter you can use but feel free to change it as may fit your
interests and work.
This is not a ban on new ivory but rather a ban on ALL ivory that is in any
form. This includes pre-ban and antique ivory in musical instruments,
knives, guns, cues, etc. and will make Grandma's piano illegal to sell if it
has ivory keys. This sounds ludicrous but it is true. If this passes then it
will take the form of a bill that will be set before Congress in 2014.
Presently this ban is to include fossil mammoth ivory as well as pre-ban and
antique elephant ivory.
Please forward this information to everyone you think may want to voice
their opposition to this type of government control.
Sincerely ,
David Warther
