THE SCURRILOUS TRADE IN IVORY

The terrible destruction of well-known beasts.


Each year 35,000 elephants are falling victim to ivory poachers.  If the elephant is to survive this appalling slaughter must be stopped.  A large demonstration is taking place in London today with a view to curbing the killing.  Concern is also being felt for rhinoceroses, of which 1000 a year fall to poachers.  In certain countries rhinoceros horns are regarded as aphrodisiacs.  Incidentally, they don't work.
