Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Protection is what all the animal groups can try to do, but unless you can cut off the DEMAND for wild animals and wild animal parts, there will always be someone willing to SUPPLY them, whether it is corrupt wildlife bureaucrats or impoverished tribal poachers. When it comes to the wildlife trade, all roads lead to China, in particular to the markets of south China, mainly Guangdong. Until the Chinese authorities are willing to make it illegal to sell wildlife for human consumption and close the markets, what future is there for any wild creatures in Asia? So far, to the best of my knowledge, the only NGO actively campaigning against the consumption of wildlife (and dogs and cats) within China is the Animals Asia Foundation. IFAW has a Beijing office, but I do not believe they have taken a position against the consumption of wildlife unless it involves endangered species. If I am wrong about this, I will be happy to be corrected.
