Wild! The True Nature of Animal Trafficking

Wild! is the cry of alarm from an enthusiast. In this account, Jérôme Pensu denounces the trafficking of wild animals, which in France generates millions of euros every year. He explains the mechanisms at play and the techniques used by criminals to make their business thrive. He explains the incredible impunity enjoyed by fraudsters, with specific cases to back up his arguments.

Wild! tells of flamingos having their legs amputated to keep them captive. European birds of prey sold to zoos by care centers. Reptiles tortured for the needs of unscrupulous pet shops. Seals captured illegally in the wild to enhance aquariums. Herds of elephants kidnapped to supply amusement parks. No wild animal is safe. 

Pensu is a whistleblower who also talks about solutions that could stop this slaughter. According to him, this trafficking is not inevitable. It is up to every citizen to intervene in the public debate, to put an end to this scandal, which is harmful to our planet, biodiversity, and the human species.
