One ivory tusk is worth the life of one elephant, and the life of one elephant is worth more than 10 poachers. If you buy the ivory tusk (or sell it), you give those 10 poachers power and reason to kill one of the most beautiful of God's creatures, in which case, your life is worth LESS than that of the lowest of the 10 poachers'. Please also be aware that the trading of tusks was banned in 1989.
