"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness but instead expose them."Ephesians 5:11
As well as the blatant greed involved in the ivory trade, there is obviously also a complete disregard for one of God's most wonderful and endearing creatures: the elephant. They are mercilessly butchered in the almost holy name of profit and the devil, as usual, basks in anything that undermines or destroys God's creation... RP 22.3.07

Huge ivory haul seized in Japan
Japanese customs officials have arrested two men on suspicion of smuggling the country's largest haul of ivory. Officials discovered the three-tonne shipment in a container registered as "synthetic marble" that arrived in Osaka last August. The amount of ivory is equivalent to the tusks of about 100 elephants. Japanese police suspect a large-scale smuggling ring may have been involved. International trade in elephant ivory is for the most part banned under an international treaty.
But ivory remains popular in Japan for use in crafts and to make carved name seals that are used instead of signatures on legal documents.
