It’s bizarre to me that the ivory trade still exists. No one is impressed by ivory anymore and there are much better materials to make things out of.

imagine how far into the front of an elephants skull they'd have to drill to anchor and ivory elephant denture

I mean, natural diamonds are still a thing while synthetic is better.

The diamond market has crashed tho. If only the ivory market would do the same!

"A diamond is forever," but perhaps not for the increasing number of consumers who are spurning the gemstone for its lab-grown counterparts and gold.

The market continues for people impressed by unethical qualities of materials as much as they're impressed by the physical properties. "Nobody" is impressed by real lion pelts either, yet rich game hunters continue. It's about dominance.

There was a sea turtle at an aquarium that I visited with a 3d printed shell, so why not this?

I'd prefer to use the confiscated tusks to beat the poachers with. After that, they should give them back.

I saw a documentary once that said that elephants are starting to be born without tusks. Male & female. It's evolution in action. It's sad to me, but life finds a way.

Good for dents, great for dentures.
