China HAS to be involved here somewhere...
And I have money to bet on that.
The Chinese are the #1 buyers of animal body parts and live animals, including critically endangered species. They don't give a flying fig about whether the species involved will be wiped out; they just want to be able to get it up--as if there aren't enough Chinese in the world. Or, they just want to make the big bucks selling the animals parts. There is a woman quoted in this article, not a Chinese, who expressed the fact that she couldn't care less if she participated in the extinction of a species, so long as she made money from it. Look, the Chinese kill human political prisoners to market their body parts for transplants, don't they?
They utilize the most diabolically cruel ways to house and kill animals there. For that alone, they could nuke all of China and I wouldn't care.
