Not content on getting certain species of rhino down to single figures, Tigers on the brink of extinction the humble pangolin is on the list to go. They started getting them from Africa now they've chomped through literally millions despite this being illegal. Mind you that doesn't japan hunting whales either.  It's pointless. If there is ten, no, one documented case of any of these animal parts curing cancer I'd be staggered but it's just half arsed witchcraft that does nowt apart from cause suffering. I don't get it. And the above are just the tip of the iceberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why are kestrels down by such a large percent in this country? It ain't climate change. We aren't guilt free in all this, just the good folk in South East Asia seem to be keener on doing with it greater cruelty to animals in greater risk for no even vauguely sensible reason.  ---------- Post added 05-02-2015 at 18:34 ----------  Most of the issues, including global warming, come back to overpopulation.  Correct answer.
