Late last year, in December the chinese government decided to close most of the ivory shops and factories. On Friday half of them were supposed to be oficially closed down by the end of the day. And the rest of the shops and factories should be closed by the end of this year. The chinese government, and the representatives from Africa hope this action will help to minimise illegal poaching in Africa and to bring the elephants from the brink of exintction.
I was so happy to hear that news because I think it is the issue that should have been solved ages ago. In my opinion industries shouldn't use animals in such a cruel way, especially if there is a danger that these species are in danger of extinction.
