What the petition asks
The Ivory trade is horrible ordeal and it needs to be abandoned. If we don't stop this horrific trade we are at peril of losing these intelligent animals. The rhino perchance could be extinct in less than 10 years if we don't stop.
They use rhino horn for specific types of medicine and also selling just for their own profit. rhino horn can sell for about £100.000
The rhino is my most beloved animal and I don't want to grow up for my children to say "what was that animal called with that horn?" Aforementioned it needs to be stopped for children in the future to see these magnificent animals.
