I see articles all the time talking about how they grew organs in a lab. It seems like maybe we could find a way to do the same with ivory. It seems if you could flood the ivory market in a way that would drop the price and reduce the incentive to kill elephants. Maybe you could do the same with rhino horn.
We've banned these animal products and it hasn't done anything to really reduce the demand for them. It has increased the dangers of getting the ivory since poachers can be shot, or go to jail, so the price has gone up, and made it even more appealing to poor people in these areas to go kill elephants for their ivory. I just don't see the current methods as being enough to work, and time is running out. What's some better ways to stop this?
