The world's most trafficked animal is humans! Sex trafficking, domestic labor, agricultural labor, restaurant labor, etc. It's sad and disgusting, and so often ignored.
How are they taking or killing 100k Pangolins a year if the are endangered ?
did i miss the dates /years this 100k was taken?
I am an avid follower of your channel and your other channels. The unfortunate point is that I am a stickler for facts and this video is unfortunately inaccurate in respect of Chad and the Kruger National Park.
Just a comment on all your channels, Simon. I enjoy all your channels, biographies and all, since I am a researcher and spent most of my time on your channel this last weekend. One comment though, you speak really fast and I would not stop your approach, but please give us some info to research afterwards. It took me 3 hours to document Joan of Arc and refence your info. Please also tell me how you would like to be referenced, since I use your sites in cross-references to my research from books. Education is the master. I will appreciate your comments and information to your preferred reference.
Where does one even go for poacher hunting training?
Well that was depressing, when will human beings as a whole learn that once they are gone they are gone!
I truly believe CHINESE government must establish an organization to educate and forcefully stop ppl and shops/factories using animals such as elephants- sharks and so on. There must be a heavy jail sentence and fines for poachers too.
Africa and Asia both need major human dieback and birth control whether they want it or not.
Think of it, coats made out of begbrat afros should only be worth a nickel, given oversupply (comparing them to snow leopards ..)
I'd never heard of Pangolins! What is it with 'Traditional' medicine going after endangered species? You'd think in the 21st Century they'd realised it doesn't work!! Doctors without borders should get out there and teach people about modern medicine!!
What about humanhorn?
One of the more depressing videos I've ever watched.
Humans suck.
Humanz…
All the militaries of the world need to team up and go on a massive killing rampage to rid the world of anything that remotely hints to poaching. No remorse, no holding back. Oh and take out China while you're over that way.
So Humans didn't make the list? 50 thousand people are trafficked every year in the U.S. alone.
Maybe we could start hanging poachers heads above the mantle?then maybe they would become extinct?
I say we send in NATO to take care of the poachers under the flag that these activities are funding terrorism when its really just target practice for the Army Rangers.
Using the word "medicine" exceedingly loosely here.
Asian traditional medicines are full of disgusting unnecessary and unhelpful ingredients with no basis in reality.
I want a pangolin
I thought humans were the most trafficked animal, particularly the females.
You should do a video on the most selfless/altruistic species
We should murder all poachers who target rare animals for profit on the spot!
Dear Chinese, milled terrorist balls can cure your impotence.
You can thank me for world peace later.
What is that blue neon sign? Is it a logo or a brand? I'd love to know.
Canada is a huge importer of shark becuase of the enormous Chinese population
I'm so upset now.
Why cant Asians just go back to smoking opium, rather than snorting all this fingernail dust from exotic animals.
Simon you use the verbal tick, "like" WAY TOO MUCH on the Brainfood podcast. It's like, distracting as like, heck and makes it like, hard to like, listen to. Do like, better, sir.
Noooo pangolins! They're so bizarre and awesome!
I hate, legitimately hate, humans.
Shark fin soup? That's like killing a cow and taking one steak off it.
I love the pangolin such a lovely animal it’s so sad
