Wildlife Trading

It is important that the Vietnamese government are introducing legislation to ban the $1b trade in wild animals (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/18/billion-dollar-wildlife-industry-in-vietnam-under-assault-as-law-drafted-to-halt-trading). This is following similar changes by the Chinese government. The changes mainly relate to the farming and capture of animals for food (but, even in parts of the UK, so-called 'bushmeat' is said to be illegally available) but the situation in relation to the use of animal products in 'medicines' is less clear. Both uses of wild animals endanger both the animals and humans.
