Every once in a while a documentary comes along that can make a difference, Hello Orcas, thanks Blackfish.
The extermination of elephants, in such cruel way has only one people responsible, the Chinese. In China Ivory is a status luxury item, rich people loves it, and the president himself did not commit to an end of barbarities, like a good criminal politician, he said that someday in the future China will end its Ivory trade, meanwhile China continues to execute Elephants, 1 every 15 minutes
It is their crazy thirst for Ivory that has made this holocaust possible, the Chinese will deprive future generations of the beauty of this majestic and intelligent animal.
Yes, the killers are gangs of ignorant people led by unscrupulous monsters executing orders from the Chinese elite behind this lucrative trade.
The cruelty of the Chinese is difficult to measure, Rhino, Tigers, Bears, Elephants, anything that can be sold for exorbitant prizes will be killed for profit, they just don't care.
Ask yourselves why the Chinese government doesn't stop the trade, don't do anything to smugglers and let this happen?
It's their business too! The more animals they assassinate, the higher the profit is, and don't let people lie to you, in China Ivory sells everywhere, they know what they are doing, but money taste better
Government officials are involved, its widely known, in Hong Kong they bought some time, they want to kill and trade with animals until around 2022, so they will have time to prepare alternative channels
The Chinese became rich and began destroying the world, they could have chosen the opposite, but as with coal emissions, they just don't care.

Great documentary about a problem that is not talked, we live in a world that people care more about how they look and what they can buy than actually solving real problems that we created... Its difficult to understand the point that we reached when theirs humans being killed to protect elephants and other animals from being extinct.
This proves that this type of film matters! Excellent story, well produced and beautifully filmed. China officially banned all forms of domestic ivory trade on December 31, 2017, sending a clear signal to global wildlife crime groups that peddling ivory in China would carry serious legal consequences and social costs. China's historic ban has significantly reduced ivory sales, but one consumer group-people who regularly travel outside China-have the highest intention of continuing to purchase elephant ivory post-ban. These magnificent animals need our protection! I like the new methods of using beehives to help farmers protect their crops. Sandi Jerome.
This is a must see documentary about the desperate battle to save the elephant from extinction, and at the same time save some remnants of the beautiful natural heritage of a planet for future generations. We say we love our children, but what kind of world are we leaving them. See the front line defenders of these majestic beasts in some of Africa's leading game parks, as well as dedicated investigators and campaigners around the world, bravely trying to stop the criminal and barbaric syndicates from plying their deadly trade.
The documentary explores operations of poachers in Africa and further trafficking of illegal ivory to Asia where it is sold to local wholesalers who subsequently can deliver it to your doorstep a 'nominal' fee. The undercover footage gives the documentary great validity and evidential basis. Must be watched - thought-provoking and horrifyingly real.
