Daniel Giummule you speak like every other country on earth is a saint and has never done anything like this. Every country in the world has contributed to some inhuman acts towards animals. To individually state a claim like yours, is biased and shows your cultural discrimination towards that country. Shame on you indeed. The world would definitely be better off if people like you don’t exist.

National Geographic According to the article that National Geographic wrote, “Pangolins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by some indigenous groups in South and Southeast Asia. Their parts also are used in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditional medicine. At least 67 countries and territories on six continents have been involved in the pangolin trade, but the shipments with the biggest quantities of scales have originated in Cameroon, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, according to an analysis by Traffic.” Sure, Chinese medicine does use them, I don’t see the mentioning of other ethnic groups who also does this as well.

please either fix the captions or allow contributions

Niko Gambino Bigotry and racial profiling is a fact. I wouldn’t go as far as ruling that the world would be better off without China - that’s your own personal and political bias. Every country has contributed to some substantial damage to Mother Earth. By hating on one country specifically, won’t do any good to prevent animals from extinction. Whereas making rules and awareness is a more effective approach. As I posted above in this comment string, China is not a sole contributor to this creature’s near extinction. It is stated in their published article on this story. I don’t know why National Geographic failed to be specific about this issue, which makes me ponder that politics “maybe” a factor to it. Also, please provide evidence to your statement that “Chinese medicine has killed off/extinct 100’s of species.” If you can’t be rational with your arguments, you can “F off” yourself. Otherwise, you’re just embarrassing yourself by being a racist. Having a president that is a bigot, doesn’t acknowledge climate change and wants to build a wall between USA and Mexico doesn’t seem to be much better than communist China.

Taking scales probably doesn't kill animals..

@throw away this is a back handed compliment whether you intended it or not. You could've cut out the first part.

I think the same thing seeing all the animals starting to come back since we are supposedly inside.

I'm glad nature has taken revenge

These creatures was said to be carriers of the virus and their initially where it came from supposedly only the rich could afford to eat such an animal!! I Never seen or heard of this creature till now!! A hot commodity!!

Sorry but I don't think Nature has nothing to do with the coronavirus do your research

I concur: Nature’s Revenge!

I feel you on that but when I watched the KZfaq video on Chinese Street Food they had dogs and cats that they were frying with a torch on a grill in front of everyone so I expect them to do pretty much anything that's weird and Evil

Feed their families? Are you deaf?

Lizett Alvarado i didnt mention anything bout chinese people. Stop calling people racist.

David Dagnaisser its an ethnical question. If you need to talk about ur problems feel free to not boughter me with ur short temper

The Highly rich eat them to show their status in society!!!

Yes!!!!:)

Jamey Craig its done..corona is here

You're beautiful

YES!

Let's talk more about on this subject Sarah😜

Why dont the Chinese eat themselves

None Yours Plant based is the way but some are ignorant to that fact

Absolutely right. It's disgusting culture.

Depends on your definition of medicine. Anti-venom comes from animals and is used to save lives in a medical setting.

The Chinese in a certain part of China also eat aborted human baby fetuses, since they believe it has regenerating abilities to help them heal. I found out about that in the 90's.

That true

So it’s up to the NGOs to join hands

There is more Help needed. If i would have to pay 56?! Dollars for a bag of rice, i would act differently as well. That's just insane. I feel really bad on how difficult it is to feed your families. There NEEDS to be change !!!

I am an british Australian ecologist, trust me so does the west need education on conservation

You are a fool and pls next time speak for yourself

Morris Ouma

Nevermind To be honest, 5000 isn’t worth much in Nigeria today. Food items and other basic commodities are generally becoming more expensive in Nigeria, thereby reducing the value of money.

Jamey Craig I want to help as well, but Nigeria is still recovering from economic recession and terrorist attacks. It is really sad to be honest.

Right now, the prices have been hiked to about 15,000 I.e. £50.... it’s a real terrible situation here

Nevermind that’s right. Africa is colonized and this is the result of colonization.

can people shut up about that dumb movie already, who cares p.s sonic is a hedgehog not a pangolin

If you find this animal adorable, something is wrong with you.

But it's adorable to those who appreciate nature and the wonderful creatures of Allah...i could say the same about you too :D i think many basic things are lacking in you...good sight and kind heart!

@@Ramukaka_0007 are you sure you are sober enough? those wonderful animals you mentioned are being raised by humans thousands of years ago, they are better-taken care of by humans, and their numbers are increasing and even highly exceeding the people...and it's very safe and natural to eat them(I'm not vegetarian and I don't want to be...otherwise I'll be feable-minded ;) ...not every animal you should eat however...i hope you have the logic and correct sense to differentiate between different issues; I'm afraid!

National Geographic do they like to be pet?

LMAO. Did your mom tell you that theory? I'm surprised your tiny brain can figure out something so logical.

This is true they have shut the wet market down a few times where the sell these because of the virus!!!

If Africa stops hunting and selling them, China will stop buying them. Stop demonizing the Chinese.

China deceased

@@stephenang499 China is acting like demons...no one demonising them. The one who is powerful dictates the terms. "Traditional medicine is China's treasure and pride"~xi jin ping. Africa can't say them to stop this practice and show non co operation....Africa has billions of loan from China...and gets funding....so talk what is practical and pick the right party.

Shame on you Jackie Chan 😒

Pinoy Player : if he hasn’t spoken out about the publicly accepted torture of pet dogs and bears in China, Then yes.... shame on Jackie Chan too

Let all agree that everyone should shut up and try survive first before pointing fingers

Jackie chan has been campaigning against tiger trade for decades. Plus campaigns for other charities.

I agree.

You will.

@@arrowb3408 look at your comment you sound deranged

Oh.. They will not.. They eat their own baby embrio.. There is a video on you tube.. Go find it..

How would people do that? The locals already know that they can gather an income by selling pangolins. They're desperate, and I doubt they're willing to release their only source of income. A better way is to offer more job opportunities to those people so they can live off another source.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Esther Odanga because they will eat anything as a status symbol.
