Ask America's Auction Network to stop seliing ivory and conducting "Ivory Sale Week"

America's Auction Network.  I contacted your company regarding your very enthusiastic sale of ivory  - including an "Ivory Week".  I was hung up on by one supervisor, but spoke with another that assured me that your ivory is legally obtained.  Legal or not, the obtainment is a horrific process that involves the use of poison, snares, steel jaw leghold traps, machetes, etc.  Elephant babies are left to die next to their mother's corpses.  Others, as in the included video, are not even dead, but left to suffer for hours or even days after most of their face has been hacked off.  I was also told that some of your "ivory" is, in fact , bone from cows.  Slaughterhouse "debris"  Do your buyers know this?  Why not show your viewers that you do have some compassion and end the sale of ivory and the "Ivory week " specials.  Tell them that you have realized that this is cruel.  Tell them that your conscience is speaking louder than the dollar, and you will not support and perpetuate this total disregard for these majestic creatures and this archaic, unspeakable violence.  You may see a tremendous rise in sales due to your show of decency, and not recieve the backlash form animal rights groups or those disgruntled by the fact thay have been "duped" and cow bones have been substituted for ivory.  I run a publication titled the Healthy and Humane Observer and will feature this story in my next issues.  My readers will contact you.  You KNOW where this ivory is coming from - do not practice apathy and greed any longer.  Do the right thing. There ARE other ways to make money that do not include murder and torture.
