PM May tried to cancel the ban but was outvoted.
The poaching of elephants, rhinos, lions and even giraffes are on the increase again.
Even the "legal" hunting has increased. Recent pictures showed a 12 year old and the two sons of presidential candidate Donald Trump posing with their killed animals and feeling great.
The dentist of New York who killed the lion Cecil and shocked the world had also killed already 1000s of wild animal and trades in trophies.
Little do they know how pathetic they are. It only takes a big amount of money of £30,000 to £40,000 to enable them to go on safari and the shooting of the animals is all set-up, made safe for the "hunter"
.
A report in the Daily Mirror state that poaching is on the increase again.
There are ruthless international gangs behind it earning multi-billions of pounds.
The real root lies with the countries like China and Asia demanding parts of wild animals for medicine and ornaments.
Unless these demands are stopped well organised gangs exploit it for huge profits.
The poaching of elephants for their tasks has increased by 400 per cent.
In South Africa's Kruger National Park which is the seize of Wales 36 elephants had been found since January and it has almost double for the same period last year. Other places it is even worse.
During the same time 456 rhinos were found killed which dropped from 557 from 2015.
The huge area is patrolled by helicopters and pilots are in contact with people on the ground despite South Africa's Government demand the ban to lifted of trading in ivory.
Poachers nowadays are well equipped and work at night
As mentioned above unless the demand stops we will face extinction of all these magnificent wild animals. This warning had been out for decades and been repeated times and again but the greed of international criminals goes on.
