Although this is somewhat academic for me, as I am not in the USA, I can't see that this "retroactive" approach helps elephants or shows respect for them. Old ivory key covers are simply going to get scrapped. How does that help elephants? OK, a terrible poaching trade took a terrible toll on elephants, especially African elephants. But it seems distasteful to me to remove (probably breaking in the process) and/or destroy existing ivory key coverings. It is wasteful, and how does it show respect for slaughtered elephants? Somehow, to me, it shows the opposite.
