After China made progress in the world of animal rights and conservation by banning ivory, they've taken a massive step backwards by reversing a ban on utilizing tiger bones and rhino horns for medicinal research. China is reversing a 25 year ban on using tiger bones and rhino horns for medicinal research which is sparking outcries from conservation experts and animal activists across the globe who are calling China's ban on ivory a sham to cover up their intentions with tiger and rhino bones. China also reopened trade involving antiques made using bones and horns from these beautiful, endangered animals.
Look, as the world continues to evolve and science continues to grow, we should be focusing our efforts on plants and foods studying their effects on disease. Antioxidants from these plants / fruits & veg are already being studied for anti-viral and anti-cancer properties across the globe, this is where our efforts should be focused. By going back in time and allowing endangered animals to be utilized for medicine that frankly, doesn't work is both selfish and completely ignorant to the plights of the animals they're utilizing. It's amazing to me that we live in a world where we still don't grasp the damage we are doing to the animal population despite constant news about endangered or extinct animals. Are they naive or just plain ignorant?
My question is, what will China do when there are no more animals for them to kill for bones? I always ask this question but it's true, where do we go when there are no animals left? All of these trophy hunters out there hunting elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards etc., China using endangered tigers and rhinos, where do we go when they're all gone? These asshole are out here destroying the animal kingdom but have they thought long term? Probably not. My only hope is that efforts to conserve trump the backwards efforts of countries like China or sick trophy hunters. HAPPY VEG
