Pope Francis is visiting the Philippines between 15th and 19th Jan - TopicsExpress



          

Pope Francis is visiting the Philippines between 15th and 19th Jan 2015 where he could speak out against the use of ivory for carving religious figurines. Many of the country’s 75 million Roman Catholics believe owning a figure made of ivory best expresses their devotion to God, and this fuels a huge market in religious ivory. A clear statement by the Vatican that this practice is not condoned could be pivotal in reducing the slaughter of the tens of thousands of elephants whose tusks supply this trade. So PLEASE ADD YOUR VOICE to this petition and ASK POPE FRANCIS TO SAY NO TO IVORY. https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Pope_Francis_Say_No_to_Religious_Ivory_and_Save_Thousands_of_Elephants/?oqjQkdb
