Re: Deer, Boar, Porcupines, Squirrels, Turtles, Red Cranes on the Menu in Wildlife Crackdown
And a partridge in a pear tree, one place closed down, another step forward too protecting the wildlife. But, the menu for those protective and endangered species of wildlife will go on because there's a long and existing market for this trade, and mostly there are people who are willing to pay the high cost to satisfy their needs to eat something of what we may call exotica in today's world. Tomorrow is a new day and the menus will eventually not show that favourite dish to some, because now it is becoming more of a rarity and it may start to linger on the edge in its own way too extinction.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
