I came across this article last night and found it very interesting so I thought it was worth posting on ZooChat. https://www.theguardian.com/environ...ng-millions-from-illegal-wildlife-trafficking
Definitely the smugglers (and especially ring leaders) need to be prosecuted. But it seems to me the only long term solution is to educate the public in Asia so they will stop demanding these products.
I'd go less for prosecution and more for being put to death. There's a much longer article here - https://www.theguardian.com/environ...ephant-ivory-asias-animal-trafficking-network - amongst the "related stories" on LaughingDove's link.
Thanks for the link to the second article, Chli. I saw that in the news app on my phone but couldn't find an actual link to it when I looked. Quite a read.
