I want the goverment to completely ban the trade of Ivory in the UK
30,000 elephants are slaughtered every year for their tusks. The irony is that some of this ivory is then carved to resemble these beautiful wild creatures.
We are rapidly losing the war on Ivory trade, lets use this petition to ban all sale of Ivory in the UK. This cruel injustice needs to end
I am a animal mangement student who is going into studying wildlife conservation. After watching Saving Africas Elephants on BBC One the sheer scale of this problem was enough to bring me to tears. It is barbaric and something needs to be done now, lets get this petition to parliament and put an end to this out dated, idiotic trade.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
