Read this excerpt from a passage.
Other countries have also joined in the protest. In 2014, the United States, the world's second largest market
for
ivory,
announced a ban on the trade in elephant ivory within the U.S. Unfortunately, many other countries
have not yet acted to outlaw the buying and selling of ivory, demonstrating their disregard for the survival of the
African
elephant.
Elephants are not the only ones to suffer as a result of the ivory trade. Today, money made in the illegal ivory
trade goes to fund terrorism. This makes everyone who has anything to do with the ivory trade, including
consumers, supporters of worldwide terrorist circles.
