Billion-dollar wildlife industry in Vietnam under assault as law drafted to halt trading

Vietnam’s prime minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, has asked the country’s agriculture ministry to draft a directive to stop illegal trading and consumption of wildlife over fears it spreads disease.

'billion dollar industry under assault'? ... How about 'illegal industry, that has allowed to go unchecked, that is a risk to human and wildlife health and welfare finally taken seriously'..... No the truth is not clickbaity enough I guess.

Economic sanctions should be placed on Vietnam, Thailand, China, Laos and Cambodia if these industries and ‘farms’ aren’t closed immediately. A BBC report found first hand evidence of governments supporting the growth of a market for wine made from fermenting tiger bones. Awful.

Good news, about time!

Good. It's as bad there as in China.

Where am I going to get my Meerkat and Pangolin soup from now?

Good!

Good!

The sting in the tale! Why new diseases keep appearing in China

🙏
