China bans consumption and trade in wild animals

[Catherine]

Sadly the corona virus is the whole reason for the ban. It is not being done to protect wildlife. The wildlife trade is endangering humans and costing the economy so it is time to ban the wildlife trade. It would be great if this was an enlightened decision aimed at protecting endangered species and their environments. It is not. The result is still a ban on the wildlife trade. I am okay with that. 
If it protects endangered wildlife, I don't care why they  do it. If even one pangolin is left in peace then it is worth it. If they can stop the whole pangolin killing I will be very happy.
