i have been trying to convince some people to release their pets(all of them endangered species, and bought illegally) and to not buy any more.
but they usually argue with me saying that how does it matter as long as they take good care of the animal(which they usually dont, but thats besides the point)..
i want to show to them why the illegal animal trade is WRONG.
if anyone could send me links to articles, essays, documentaries etc that shows this, i would be very grateful...
something shocking/disturbing/thought provoking would be better, since im dealing with people who are quite insensitive to such issues.
thanx

i wanted to add that i live in india, and the state of law enforcement in issues like wildlife conservation is quite pathetic. turning in people is going to be like fighting a loosing battle, and as someone mentioned releasing the animals back is no point since rehablitation centers are quite bad.does anyone know of respectful and genuine organisations that operate in india?
thanks for the support...
im just hoping people get my message!

You can read reports on wildlife trade - not just of live animals for pets, but also parts for consumption, trophies, etc.
Thank you for being aware, and doing something about it. 0% 0 Votes
