It happens all over the world and is even a common practice in the United States. I hated to use the word “slaughtered”, but I wanted to use the correct definition of the word.Īnimals being “culled” isn’t something new. Elephant leather on the other hand must be purchased only from sellers coming from legally culled (selectively slaughtered) elephants. Ivory is only obtained by poachers and buying or selling of ivory is illegal. Ivory is downright illegal no matter what. There are two sides to this story though. It’s seriously a major loophole that people can easily get away with considering it allows you to buy or sell one part of an animal, but not another. Just about anyone can buy and sell elephant leather as long as they adhere to the very lax regulations of the Convention of International Treaty of Endangered Species. Unlike ivory, elephant skin doesn’t have much regulation on it. If you are like me, one of the first things you might be thinking of when you hear the words “elephant skin” in conjunction with a pair of boots or any other products is “How is that possible?”. Once again this is another pair of the highest quality western boots from Rios of Mercedes. The skin is a beautiful rich chocolate color and goes beautifully with the chocolate quarters of the calfskin shafts. These boots are also a combination of beautiful elephant skin and calfskin. These boots are amazing with a great story behind them. That is very important to me and I don’t want something that was obtained by poachers or something. These are a beautiful pair of boots made from some very tough and durable elephant skin that is ethically harvested. I absolutely love these boots because because of the square cutter toe.

I don’t know about you, but now I want to buy two pairs! My two favorite styles of boots are ropers and square toe. I would say that you had me at “ roper“, but you kind of got me at the Granite Safari Elephant boot above.
