Not as long as there's lots of money involved, just like the drug trade.

The "shoot on sight" orders will be a big help. Don't get me started on how the Chinese have corrupted Africa.

It's not often the Daily Mail has a well informed & we written article but this one is the exception to the rule!

As for a shoot on sight policy: History has proved that alone isn't the answer because for every one you shoot, there's 100 more willing to step in and take the job simply because they can earn enough in one night to keep their family fed for a year or more.

As I've said before, the only answer is to arrest and properly punish those at the top of the tree and that'll never happen simply because they hold positions of authority and often diplomatic immunity.

Word has it that 1kg of ivory is worth 1 month's minimum wages to the "fundi" (shooter).

Its a win-win situation for everyone involved, from sperm to worm and its no bloody wonder they run the risk!

The future is going to be interesting for Africa although maybe not in a positive light.the ternd now seems for the black governments to sell their soles and counties to China. If the Chinese get established they will probably move in with teir own labor(they work), The blacks in general will suffer and all the elephants will become just ivory for carvings. Just a thought, maybe I'm put to lunch. I'd like to hear from others on their opinion of this.

Oh boy you just might be right
I'd say new colonials The Mao descendants
They have been doing it in all their territories for last sixty years
Black African leaders are so focused and worried about their Whites problem that they are totally blind to clear and present danger from China
