Bagpipe Police

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but it's not an organization to suppress weapons of mass destruction. It's an organization to hurry the extinction of elephants.

You clicked the link but didn't see that part? Here it is. When you confiscate an old piece of ivory and destroy it, you reduce the worlds supply of ivory, thus driving up the price. This makes the ivory poachers job more lucrative and increases poaching which adversely affects the population of elephants.

This bit of tomfoolery by the government extends to anything containing ivory including piano keys and guitar fingerboards. My brother is a musician up near the Canadian border and tells me that when he plays a gig in Canada his band has to be very careful which instruments they use if they don't want to see that old Fender Stratocaster tossed into the Fed.gov's wood chipper.
