Put pressure on those restauranteurs. To me, its important to realize the despirate nature of the poaching activity. $.50?????? Not only is poaching really sad and does it take a huge toll on the pop. of the animal livelihood, family and community, and on the earths bio-diversity. It also isn't sustainable trade for the poacher, who's family is growing. Clearly, a way needs to be found for people to be able to earn a living being more constructive with their energies. Affordable trade training and education for marketable work. Matter of fact, with all the dumbing, we could use some of that HERE, TOO! ~ K Thank you THINKERS! Put pressure on those restauranteurs.

Any links to petitions or government people to write to to protest it and demand it to stop? How about writing to the tourist council of the island to let them know how valuable these animals are to them? OK is any organization doing something about this?
