The previous two articles discussed the excellent review in the October 2012 National Geographic Magazine (NGM), about the international, illegal ivory trade and its consequences. The devastating news was that over 25,000 elephants are killed per year. In the 1st article about this slaughter I concluded that the periodic burning of seized illegal ivory and other measures, unfortunately, have not slowed down this slaughter. NGM points out that ivory price has increased 20 fold, which creates more incentive for poaching. In the 2nd article I began to present ways to analyze these problems.

"A virulent strain of Sinhala/Sri Lankan nationalism that seeks to forcibly assimilate Eelam Tamils through Sinhalization, which possesses a neanderthal paranoia about external Tamil conspiracies to take over/divide its Sri Lanka, seeing the entire island as primarily Sinhala property, and exercises control over both repressive and ideological state apparatus."

Thank you Illar Muul,

Please provide a caution about people visiting Sri Lanka on safety and security in lieu of Tourist trap' by the administration.

sexual harrassment has been widely reported to European female visitors (not elephants)
A british traveller Khuram was murdered in one of these areas by thugs associated with the ruling family.His Russian girlfriend Alexandra was assaulted too.

Otherwise, Touriasts can visit neighbouring India with beautiful elephants., more importantly safe

The sinhalese buddhists are only compassionate towards animals but are happy to see the Tamil people killed and/or tortured.
