RE: The scales from pangolins have increased a lot in value, and it is now the most illegally trafficked animal in the world

in #nature7 years ago

Another sad story that population of pangolins have been drastically reduced due to human brutality and deforestation. I am not against the poor inhabitant who relies on pangolins for their food needs. You may use them if you have little earning and no other resources, but killing them for smuggling to Asian countries at higher rates should be banned. Again we human are responsible for brutal killings of pangolins for our enjoyment. It's totally unfair. Doforestation is an other big issue which we are facing these days. We should develop some wild life parks and zoo to keep them away from endanger species.

I think this is also how the laws are in the African countries. But the price for a pangolin is so high that people are tempted to sell them to Asian smuggler instead of eating it themselves.

Absolutely agree with you on that matter!

Laws will be there but it's time to show urgency and strictly enforce these laws to reduce smuggling. law making is nothing except to make ourself fool, if we can't implement them strictly. keep sharing:)

For sure! The laws need to be backed up by enforcers such as police, border controls etc.

Absolutely agree. Let's hope for the best:)
