I love how the hunter complains about a lack of Pangolin when literally he is the reason why

*Literally any wild animal exists Traditional Chinese Medicine:Yes

Governments: we can't catch wildlife Poachers VICE: we can take a whole film crew film the crime

The work that woman and her team is doing has not gone unnoticed to me. Commendable work

The pangolins looked really cute, and were quite docile for wild animals. They don't bite because they don't have any teeth (I googled it). It's so sad what it's happening to them, getting hunted like that, specially pangolins being such sweet mannered animals.

Asia: We killed all our infinite supply of pangolins. Hey Africa, can we get some? Africa: Sure, they are infinite here. What's funny is that the pangolin scales are mostly just keratin. Chinese people could just save their finger and toe nail clippings (which is also keratin) and use that in their potions.

Completely heartbreaking watching how they tie them up from their little legs. :(

Poverty and ignorance are a dangerous thing.

Kudos to whoever produced this. Must of been so much working getting access to all these people. Really incredible short doccy.

In Sri Lanka, killing an endangered animal can get you sentenced to life.

The dealiest and most vicious animal on this Planet? -The human.
-
The Nigerian government has abdicated its responsibility to care for its people, forcing them to choose between starvation and killing Pangolin. The Chinese and Vietnamese don't "need" Pangolin for anything other than status and an uneducated belief in the magical power of Keratin. When Pangolin need armed guards to survive, we must look inward to reassess our humanity. 🤯

In a parallel universe pangolins are hunting chinese for their nails

As a Nigerian it breaks my heart every time I see the ignorance about the importance of wildlife conservation in the mass population 😭😔.Imagine threatening an entire species for less than $10.This was really hard to watch.
-
Pangolin is literally one of the cutest animals on the planet. Amazing little thing! Love them, appreciate them but never kill them 😢
-
The hunters are simply not intelligent. Pangolins shed their scales regularly, you can collect them, breed them and sweep and collect the scales they shed, that way it's legal. They don't need restrictions, they need an education. And their guns taken from them.

Wildlife deserves to be wild living among us like the universe intended. This world is sick
