EXPOSING THE RAMPANT PANGOLIAN TRADE
The sweet, shy & docile pangolin is the world's most trafficked mammal, & is now critically endangered. In one single market, about 10 live pangolins are sold & killed everyday on average. They are used for meat & for "medicinal potions". Agent C's investigations revealed almost all major restaurants & souvenir shops sell pangolin & pangolin scales upon request.
