A documentary (Warlords of Ivory) by National Geographic reporter Bryan Christy managed to prove that the money that goes to buying ivory products is used to pay for terrorist activities in Africa. One of these terrorist groups is the LRA (Lord's Resistence Army) led by mass murderer Joseph Kony. Christy reported that there were different task forces for killing people and another for killing elephants. So when you pay for ivory you also pay for someone's life.
