Yes it's banned but there are always poachers and people who would look to profit in some way

I don't know, Rhino horn is hair...elephants are ivory, so maybe that's why.

Or some sort of lagging ...even if itâs only cloths
yes just going to say that -just to keep them warm
Sprout posted:Yes, but the way they are situated, it means I can't cover all of them
insulate where you can and then newspapers etc where you can't, it's a simple remedy Pam
