In the article "African ivory worth $1.4 million seized in Hong Kong" by Jethro Mullen , Authories in Hong Kong found 1.4 million dolars worth of tusks shipped in to Africa in a box labaled Seeds . It contained 1,330 kilograms on illegal ivory in a container which was shiped from Tanzania .

The 569 tusks, worth 10.56 million Hong Kong dollars (about $1.4 million U.S.), were in the back of the container, buried under hundreds of bags of the seeds.Several people was areested for the involement of this case. Hong kong is viewd as the transit for trading illegal ivory tusks

The seizure follows the roughly $3.4 million worth in ivory found last month and one of the largest ever seized in Hong Kong.The agency seized 1,209 pieces of ivory tusks and 3 pounds of ivory ornaments from the two containers, discovered over a period of two days.

The economy is bad not just in America but other countries to . Its bad enough that they have to kill endangerered species just to get the money. They would of eventually gotten caught .

This is horrible . If the economy is then somone needs to do something. If it isnt the enconomy then they are sadist who light to cut things apart for fun. They need to be put in jail for a long time for that .

What took Authorities so long to discover this? How long has it been going on? Was it in investigation or suspicion? Will they get the time in jail people expect or a bargain?
