At one time the WWF had a ridiculous (as far as I'm concerned) plan to try to introduce Siberian tigers (I think it was - a non native sub species anyways) into Cambodia. Do you know anything about this? I know they were actively working to make it happen a couple of years ago. I think it's a doomed plan that should be abandoned and hope that's what has happened.

Clearly this is about changing a culture of crulety, but how do we do that?

Surely the WHO needs to be made accountable for its role in validating Chinese traditional medicine (TCM) last year at the World Health Assembly in Geneva and it be demanded that it be removed from the WHO compendium of alleged cures? There is absolutely no scientific proof as to the efficacy of TCM, The WHO decision has surely exacerabated the illegal wildlife trade because of its endorsement of TCM which is appalling.

While there is a desire for tiger products, specialy across a growing Asian market, will it be possible to stop these farms? And is it possible to educate (mostly) chinese people that their believes of the special properties of tiger products are not real?

If we can't appeal to their morals or ethics, could the world not impose some type of internatinal sanctions or freeze the bank accounts of the king pins? Would not hitting them financially be a way to help stop this trade?

Question from Juliana

Question from Mary Ting

Mary Ting

7:35 PM

Given the mandate to promote TCM via BRI countries, the expansion and further diversification of such products and new ones is likely. The blood bead products whether tiger or elephants is just one example...are the statements that Taobao and Alibaba are working with Oxford Martin to crack down on social media meaningful? But likely not meaningful, what do you think? Mere green washing.

7:44 PM

Thank you so much Karl for all the hard and dangerous work you have put into the making of this important film. Sadly, the story has so many synergies with the commercial lion breeding industry in South Africa as well as legal and illegal trade links. We can see an increase in tiger breeding in SA that goes under the radar to some extent as tigers are considered an exotic species. An extremely unethical development is the cross-breeding of lion and tigers. Have you come across liger products for sale in SE Asia?

Firstly, I would like to thank Karl for his work, which is extremely valued. I have a few questions that can be summarized: why is tiger cub petting (and baby animals petting in general) business tolerated, even in the Western countries, in which we generally are against captivity? Why is baby animals petting said to have "educational purposes" even if it is clear that animals are forced to behave unnaturally? moreover, why people are starting to think that these kind of experiences that include a close and unnatural contact with animals (zoos, theme parks...) is approved and sustained?

Question from Tine

If I understand it correctly, the status issue is actually the drive behind all this cruelty. Not as much the culture, I believe...Do you think being so diplomatic all the time, is at all helping? Or does it give them the space to do what they like anyway and laugh in our face ?

There is a movement to get the pharmacists on board with the refusal to sell TCM. Evidence based criteria is required to convince the purchasers that most of the products from endangered wildlife do not work. Sadly Bear bile works in some treatments but there are 52 other plant based products that work just as well. Cruelty and greed is not acceptable and the mind set has got to change. Education is the key, younger generations have to lead the way....so how do we do it?

Thank you Karl for your incredible work! I would like to ask : Will farm breeding be the future of big cats? This makes me really sad... And eventually, do you think that people will accept this kind of "method", because they may think that it is better to keeping alive the species, even in an artificial way, in comparison with make them risk in the natural habitat?

Question from Paddy

Paddy

8:00 PM

Whilst there is patently little or no political will to address the issue i those countries where these atrocities are taking place, do you believe there is any genuine political will to address it across the west, in the UK, the US, the EU and those places with sufficient economic and political influence to make a difference? Or do they simply also play lip service to the issue so long as it does not impact their commercial and political interests? It seems to me that if this cannot be addressed and rectified at the highest levels of international politics then the battle will be lost? Would you agree?

Good evening, firstly Iwant to compliment Karl for his hard work and for having shown us this inconvenient truth.

As an educator, I teach children to "Connect the dots". For canned lion hunting this is to show the connction between taking cubs away from lionesses, cub petting, walking and then canned hunting. For rhino poaching, that it is everything from the poacher to the kingpins to the consumer. In every instance there are different ways to combat the scourge. I encourage the children to think wildly of ways to combat - they are the future and this is there future we are destroying. Just maybe one some their wild ideas will make a difference.
