This video upset me quite a bit. Thought I'd share it here so more people are aware of this. Shame on the people who buy the phoney remedies that result in this poaching.

Pisses me off that animals have to suffer because of superstitious nonsense. Sometimes I think humans will never evolve.

It makes me angry that people feel they have to dominate nature by destroying it. Some will want to hunt exotic animals, wear their skins or just eat them. The medical claims are totally bogus. There's similar issues with sharks. The pangolin does us no harm, so what did they do to deserve this persecution?

Leave the dinosaurs alone!
They have been through a lot already.

Oh. I am just seeing it for the first time. I guess it is rare to hear of right?

I assume so, yes.

Pangolin, I just saw it from you, this animal looks like a monster, scary ...

Hey @demotruk, is it an aggressive animal?

No, absolutely not. They're insect eaters. They exist in your country.

What, but I have never seen it before, maybe the habitat is in the middle of the forest so I have never found it,.
Then, is it a kind of squirrel that can climb trees like I saw in the your video ??

The human being is definitely the worst plague that exists. As my nephew says, to say "animal" to someone is not an insult, it is rather an honor, it is a compliment. When we see acts as disastrous and as low as these, there is nothing left but to feel sorry for the human race. Fortunately we must do as much good as we can to counteract so much evil.

Thank you for sharing this video, friend @demotruk
