Her yıl on binlerce fil, fildişleri için öldürülür.
- Tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year for their ivory tusks.
Perhaps one or two whose lives have patient wings, / And through whose curtains peeps no hellish nose, / No wild-boar tushes, and no mermaid's toes .
Until the CITES sales ban, elephant tusks were the 'backbone' of the legal ivory trade.
