The scourge of the skin poachers: Hideous sight of a butchered elephant exposes the sick trade in animals' hides to feed soaring demand in China

China is responsible for the wholesale slaughter of animals today. They won't be happy till every last species is extinct.

China needs to hurry up and get into the 21st century! It's embarrassing that they are still lagging so far behind.

What a hideous little country this has become.

China yet again. If it wasn't for China then poachers would be out of a job. When will there be a crackdown on China? or are they too hard a target? Well?

Stop buying Chinese made goods, simple yes?......................Make a statement, money talks

Bleeding China again. I detest that country and it's barbarity. Yet politicians will not say anything as they are too busy crawling to them for investment. China needs the West more then the West needs China.

Poor things.

Start penalizing the g/reedy C/hinese. K/ill poachers on sight.

Killing these poor creatures to make jewellery to ward off ill health. Insane!

I seem to recall the 'luvvies' waxing lyrical over 'traditional Chinese medicine'. This is the reality of it, backward, unscientific, callous, cruel and utterly pointless butchery wrought by quacks for the benefit of idiots.

Boycott Chinese products

China responsible again! You sick S C U M !

Why? Elephants are beautiful. Please stop this!!!

Elephants are the most magnificent, majestic, soulful, loyal creatures on the planet. To do such horrific crimes against them is deplorable! Elephants can actually die from a broken heart, the trauma to them and their herd from the crimes against them is devastating! Poachers and their buyers should rot for eternity! :(

When you see these animals in the wild--- that is where they belong. They are in their environment an thieves and murderers destroy their natural habitat. Death penalty is what they deserve but unfortunately not what they get

Everything bad about the treatment of animals comes from China. Dogs. Elephants. Rhinos. Bears. Write to their embassy and do not visit or but goods until they enter the 21st century with respect for animals.

Elephants are to only be protected. They are intelligent, protective and form group societies. They are worthy of being protected and those who hunt them are worthy of severe punishment.

What is it with China???

disgusting human beings.

turn the poachers into organ donors, then fine the family and villages that are in the know, basically reversing the behaviour as the animals can not punish the poachers
