Help Save the Chinese Pangolin. Sign..

This was brought to my attention by a friend, I know that some of you may never have heard of the Pangolin but believe me its a beautiful animal, loving and no threat to anyone anywhere. Yet they are skinned alive, trapped and butchered for their meat and sold on the illegal black market. We have to take a stand against this NOW as the Pangolin is highly endangered little animal... 
 Populations of all Asian Pangolins have suffered extreme losses in the recent past, and these losses are expected to continue over the coming years. They are hunted throughout Asia for export to China, mostly for medicinal purposes but also for their meat and skins. The pangolins were once hunted for subsistence use, but the exploding demand and high price for the animals has spurred illegal commercial hunting. Pangolins can fetch more than $95 U.S. per kilogram in the open market, so even in protected areas they are being relentlessly hunted.

The particular subspecies Manis pentadactyla is especially threatened, since it is the easiest to catch. Unlike other tree-dwelling pangolins, Manis pentadactyla lives in clearly distinguishable underground burrows that are easily spotted and dug up to capture the animals. 
We have to set up something world wide that will help give animals rights and protect them against the cruel things that happen to them. protect them against the cowards and the uneducated. Until that time we must stand together and fight this cruelty, please post to your facebooks, twitters, myspace and yahoo's. With respect always James Howie.
