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

Disgusting people.

China. Do we really need to say anymore? 2016, and these people still believe in the "magical" properties of these things.

Those poachers need skinning alive.

Always China. I never knowingly buy anything made in China because of their awful record of animal treatment. I wish the rest of the world would cotton on and also avoid Chinese made products.

This is so sickening to even look at. I don't know how people do these things.

We are going to loose these animals in the wild because of human greed and stupidity - in the future elephants, tigers, rhinos and bears will only be seen in factory farms in China, which is already big business.

China the scourge of the earth.

Such grand elegant creatures.... Humanity is disgusting.

Leave the elephants alone!!!!!!!!!!!

where is the international condemnation for China not taking action?

If the West suddenly stopped buying stuff with made in China on it because of this, it wouldn't be long before they introduced the death penalty for dealing in endangered species.

Backwards Chinese in killing animal for health benefits that do not exist shocker!Rhino, Elephant, Tiger, Snow leopard, Sea Horse and Sharks, what next are they planning to wipe off the face of the earth ?

mistermac. you don't have to buy chinese junk.

I am speechless, Unreal and sickening

We need an army to go and kill the poachers.

We need to send ALL of our liberal tree-huggers to CHINA, because THAT's where the work needs to be done, not here.

this is just sick!! My heart bleeds......

find the poachers and hang them, then find the end users and hang them, along with everybody in the supply chain. Kill the demand is the only way to stop it.

Just use a Viagra like everyone else disgusting backward people.

These animals don't stand a chance this superstitious rubbish, & the greedy individuals who cash in on the death of these amazing creatures.
