Help Fight Illegal Wildlife Trade: Unmarked Bags Filled with Bear Paws Found

December 28, 2015 by The Ant's Meow in Causes

The Dodo reported that Russian police recently made a macabre discovery: 37 unmarked bags containing wildlife body parts, the most egregious of them included bear paws. According to the officers, a total of 527 bear feet, a bear muzzle, gallbladders and three musk deer glands were found. All this as a result of the thriving illegal wildlife trade. It's suspected that these wildlife body parts were en route to China and other parts of Asia where there is a high demand for them. 

Please help fight illegal wildlife trade by donating to animal welfare organizations like Animals Asia.
