With so many despicable poachers killing elephants for their ivory, we are in danger of losing this gentle and family-oriented animal. One idea I had that may seem odd is this. What if scientists could create a permanent dye that would permeate the tusks without hurting the animal—a dye whose color is not the least bit attractive? This would make the tusks worthless to poachers, or if anyone did create an
item from the dyed ivory it would immediately be clear that it was obtained illegally.
Note: Surprisingly the World Wildlife Fund wrote and told me this idea has been presented many times, but implementing it would be too difficult and too costly. So I suggest we go back to killing all the poachers. How much can bullets cost?
