Help elephants! Please write to newspapers, your representative, senators, and president, asking the sale of elephant ivory products to be banned in the US, Japan, and China. Poachers kill 30,000 elephants per year for their ivory tusks. Ivory products are sold in China, Japan, and the US. Ask that countries burn their ivory stockpiles. Ask countries to decrease the demand, disrupt the trafficking, "follow the money", and set an example. Learn more: http://eia-global.org/blog/crush-the-ivory-trade-not-just-the-ivory

Each year, as many as 20,000 dolphins, porpoises, and small whales are stabbed and drowned to death in Japan, one of only a few nations that still allow the killing of cetaceans for food. Other dolphins are forced into captivity and exploited for entertainment until they die, often suddenly and unexpectedly. Learn more and spread the word:
