This is very positive news in the fight to stop elephant and rhino poaching.

Check out the heartwarming image of Yao Ming walking the little baby elephant. Wow!

I believe this may work…if he persists with his message to the Chinese people.

God Bless Yao Ming!

You're much more of an optimist than I am, for sures!!! I wish that it was that easy, but I'd have to see it to believe it.

Yes, you're right, because……….even if the ivory demand is completely removed, there is still the unending conflict between the native African people (and this expanding human population) and the African elephant.

But we can hope and so far, I think he is the best hope…..if he persists with his message to his countrymen.
