I have a fake whale tooth. I found it years ago. It has scrimshaw, and so old, I didn't get destroy it. I never told anyone because I was ashamed. I didn't know how the tooth was obtained. I assumed it was at least 200 years old.

Well I found out it's a fake, but it's a really good fake. The guy I brought it to didn't realize at first, but eventually determined it was a fake. He then said, "If they can get polymers so close to real Ivory 40 years ago--why are they still killing animals for it?"

I hope China follows through on their plan to stop the sale of Ivory, but I have a feeling we need to step up our efforts to stop this. If it was up to me, I would have these areas protected by the National Guard.(If Africa would allow us there for this specific reason?)

I hate to even bring up that Dentist, but I congratulate the companies that rufused to be accomplices in this horrid, despicable hobby? I don't know know Ted N, or crazy Alaskan woman can condone his retched behavior? In my mind, I have my hands around that dentist's neck.



http://vetpaw.org does something similar to what you're suggesting re: the National Guard.


Thanks-
