primfocus: New CITES Notification re wildlife trade with Nigeria

[Guest guest]

Am I missing something here?

 

Where's this same alert for Malaysia or South Africa, where illegal trade of

endangered species also occurred? At least Nigeria has prosecuted some of

their criminals and the Ibadan Zoo director lost her job, whereas the

directors at Taiping and his good buddy in Pretoria remain tight as thieves

with WAZA and the CITES boys and girls ...
