This may have been mentioned, but I'm not gonna read through this whole thread to find out...I'm just curious...there's a LOT of zoos and circuses in this country with LOTS of elephants in them. What happens when they die a natural death? Is their ivory harvested? 
You will get some very strange looks, or worse...
I realize that your English is not too good, but sometimes even the slightest
mis-wording can be misunderstood, and might even get you into a little trouble.
I think if I was to say the following words when I walked up to the counter of
an upscale poolroom, I might actually be thrown out:
"Hello. I do not want to come off as bad gay, but could I rent a none murdered
animal cue please?"
In my opinion, you might want to refer to the cue as "a cue manufactured from non-animal
materials", or something like that. I just had to include your funny original typo, I
couldn't resist.

I saw charles barkley once say on tv (he was off cam but walk to view to make his statement) "animals are only good for 2 things. first, for food, and second for testing products on" (all the while holding a big cheeseburger and chomping on it)
This is also nice, but i don't think you'd want this..

I didnt read through a whole lot of this thread, but I doubt an elephant is killed for the soul purpose of making a pool cue...
I guess it depends on how you look at it, but they way I will look at it is like the infamous stolen cue thread...
Ok so there is Gina who got her cue stolen, let us call Gina an elephant and the cue is ivory, so the cue was stolen and sold to Rick, we can call Rick the cue maker....Rick bought the cue not knowing that it was stolen(not knowing an elephant was murdered and now holds the ivory)
Is Rick a bad guy? I would say no....
I know that was very confusing and may not be a proper contribution, but hey it was a thought

whitey2,
It took a couple of minutes for me to stop laughing enough to be able to type again...I was never going to look back here on this thread. Ever again. I'm glad I did. :}
Hmm, I thought the quote a few posts back was funnier.
Hmmm, you thought the "rabbit/felt comment" was that funny?
I was kind of hoping that the earlier "words not to say" post was funnier.
I was actually serious about felt being made from compressed
rabbit fur. To verify, I'll inclide an excerpt from wikipedia:
From the mid-17th to the mid-20th centuries, a process called "carroting" was used in the manufacture of good quality felt for making men's hats. Rabbit or hare skins were treated with a dilute solution of the mercury compound mercuric nitrate. The skins were dried in an oven when the thin fur at the sides went orange - carrot colour. Pelts were stretched over a bar in a cutting machine and the skin sliced off in thin shreds, the fleece coming away entirely. The fur was blown onto a cone-shaped colander, treated with hot water to consolidate it, the cone peeled off and passed through wet rollers to cause the fur to felt. These 'hoods' were then dyed and blocked to make hats. This toxic solution and the vapors it produced resulted in widespread cases of mercury poisoning among hatters, which may have been the origin behind the phrase "mad as a hatter" and the character of the the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland.

Dude, that guam chick has got everybody bent out of shape today!!!!!
and no her aim is just fine ... her boob will compensate as she follows thru...
As quite a few have stated...
I agree with you the slaughter of elephants is disturbing and IMO! morer disturbing is the trend presently for some to want to over turn and or change the laws prohibiting its legal sale !
Ivory is not used now as much as it was in the past ! due to two reasons, 1) the innability to acquire it in large quantities (for those with little socail consciousness!) and 2) the newer harder more durable materials available the mimic the old ivory that are less expensive and easier to get!seb9 said:
