ANIMAL WELFARE -STAND UP AGAINST POACHERS-Frontline teams 'unaware' of wildlife smuggler tactics

Front-line transport workers largely lack awareness on how criminal networks disguise illegal wildlife products, it emerged at a summit in Bangkok. Customs officials and wildlife trade experts say that educating freight forwarders and handlers of air, ship and land cargoes could help the fight against trafficking. Their recent meeting with transport operators was the first of its kind. "There was a genuine shock (among participants from the transport industry in the meeting) as to the magnitude of wildlife trade and the methods of disguise used by traffickers to transport these commodities," said Martin Palmer, an expert in global trade compliance requirements and international transport. "For example, when a rhino horn is ground down to powder, it's almost impossible to identify the difference between a box of grey chalk and a box of rhino horn powder, from a visual check. "Facts like these came as a big surprise to participants from the transport industry." Wildlife organisations say around 35,000 elephants are killed for their tusks every year, mainly in Africa. The South African government has said poaching of its rhinos reached a record of 1,215 last year. Only around 3,000 tigers are now left across the globe, which is only 5% of what the population was a century ago. Experts say despite international efforts against wildlife trafficking, criminal networks have been adopting new tactics in transporting the illegal goods - which are estimated to be worth up to $23bn annually, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. "And a lot of these people (from the transport industry) said over and over again that a lot of freight handlers lacked awareness," said Tom Milliken, an elephant and rhino trafficking expert with Traffic, an international wildlife trade monitoring network.READ MOREIvory smuggled in a suitcase-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31162726

NO CREATURE TIME IS TO LET DIE OUT.

Pandas live in the lowlands  of china  and eat a diet of bamboo and are differercult to breed in zoos, but the article found  in the sun newspaper by Chris Packham suggests that it's time  we let  this species become extinct and  focus on realistic conservation. This idea is wrong, we should  try to keep any species  going  until  their last breath as when you begin down the road of picking  and choosing how far will man go.

army dogs do not retire just shoot dead

I stood by you, I was at your side in the riots, I smelt out the bombs and walked through mines, I stood by you when you felt alone and away from home, dragged people from wrecks, give a lick and wag, I stood by you at the parade, standing strong and full of pride at the end of service what was my reward a nice garden, somewhere warm, no the army shoot me DEAD. Stand up against the killing of army dogs. So far 288 dogs  have been killed, so save them; stand up and be counted; do something today. Don't just sit on your bum.
