International Fund for Animal Welfare group says eBay auctions suspect ivory increasing
Published June 7th, 2008
An animal welfare group says eBay auctions in the U.S. of illegal or possibly illegal ivory are skyrocketing.
In a statement Friday, the International Fund for Animal Welfare says eBay affiliates in Germany, Australia, France and China have nearly eliminated illegal ivory trading on their sites. The watchdog group says, however, that sales had shifted to North America.
The fund called on the online auction company to ban all elephant ivory products from its sites worldwide.
