Only Elephants Can Wear Ivory
WARNING
Only Elephants Can Wear Ivory
I accidentally found an article talking about the illegal acts of hunting animals including ivory hunting and safari.

 I want to bring the princess' spirit and character into this project and remind people that we should be more respectful to the nature. |
