Barbcat...you silly goose read the story you silly girl...

This comes as a shock to the East African Community (EAC), considering that last year’s sanctioning of a one-off ivory auction is to blame for igniting a scourge of rampant elephant killings throughout Africa - particularly Kenya.

They should NOT be allowed to let this happen!!!!!!!!!
