I beg to differ with all those who are saying we should either burn or sell the ivory. Much as we appreciate that it is illegal to sell the Jumbo tasks, did the so called CITES tell us altenative ways to get rid of the said illegal items? I think Malawians can decide on the best way to do away with the ivory by considering certain situations the country is facing. I would suggest keeping the ivory for posterity. When we have depleted all the elephants, our kids will not believe that there were such animals in the past. Just… Read more »

Unless you people are mad really… How can you burn money??? Dont burn, sale the stuff…money realized help the needy.

The ivory had to be torched. According to CITES (Google it Please), there is no legal market for confisticated ivory.
