I think what eknkc suggested was that the cyanide was to be applied to ivory which had already been collected, not on live elephants.

I'm not referring to cyanide, i'm referring to the colour staining of ivory on animals that are alive. The colour stops poachers wanting to kill the animal, but does it not impact the animals life - that's the question i'm asking.
