Eaten to extinction: ”If you crossed an anteater with a carp, you might get something similar to a pangolin. Thai custom agents at a checkpoint in Chumporn seized 138 of the endangered animals hidden in a truck. Officials said they were being smuggled out of the country to be sold and eaten. In China, pangolin is a regarded as both a delicacy and the source of several purported “cures.” Often the animal suffers a slow, painful death before it’s boiled and its “medicinal” scales removed.”

Great population growth comes horrific destruction. Maybe they can make a conservation zoo program, call it “education,” and charge a fee.

Yet another animal put in danger because of crazy Chinese customs. This was okay before there were 1.3 billion of you - now you have to stop.

Final Fantasy xD
