pangolin scales etc are used for traditional chinese medicine and these people love it, as for elephant tusks, because its so rare, the price shoots through the roof... have you seen the price of IVORY lately??!!?
Almost all Africa endangered species are used by Chinese for traditional medicine undecided

Cow horn too must be expensive. It's like I see one just now sad
.


No! cow horn can not be ivory.... Just Elephant tusk and hippo horn. A fully developed tusk can cost as much as 400k dollars in the black market.

And with what is on display up there, their estimation is ok.

as much as rhino horns are more expensive than elephant tusk, they are NOT made of ivory, but keratin. most expensive ivory is from Elephant tusk.

I don't understand..... I know our Elephant population is acutely sparse.
The negligible numbers we have left cut across fragmented bushes in states like Edo, Rivers and Ondo : that I am aware of.
So it surprises me that our good for nothing government officials can exist in states where poachers are still having a field day on what is left of our almost vanished wildlife.

We just fail in everything.
What type of curse are we under in Naija?

So they should wipe out the Elephant population on earth and term it hustle?
Whilst they are it,they should also eliminate the Lions,Rhinos,Leopards and the Cheetahs..
