Alarming Rise Of Illegal Animal Trade

PrintPrintE-mailE-mail 0 comments

Recently there has been an alarming rise in the hunting and trading of illegal animals. In Sumatra, they are seeing a rise in the hunting and trading of the endangered Sumatran Tiger and Elephant. More and more are being arrested with illegal stuffed tigers and tiger skins, which means that even more are getting away with it!

Harrison Ford has recently joined the fight against illegal animal hunting and trading by speaking about endangered animals before his new movie Indiana Jones :

"Our endangered animals are being destroyed by illegal wildlife trade.
It's up to us to stop it. Never buy illegal wildlife products. When the
buying stops, the killing can too,"

In another ad Ford says:

"Many of the world's most magnificent animals are being pushed toward
extinction by the illegal trade and products made from their body
parts. when you travel abroad you may be offered
some of these products. It might look nothing like the animal itself
but don't be fooled. An animal has been killed to make one of these."

It is great to see a major celebrity join this fight, and we can only
hope that the huge impact of having this announcement on such a large
blockbuster movie will help the cause.
