Rare Anteater Remains Discovered

CHAN:
In Indonesia police have arrested 14 people in connection with the kidnapping of an endangered anteater species.

STORY:
They may not look valuable but these sacks contain the remains of one of the world's rarest animals.
14 tons of dead endangered Pangolins or scaly anteaters have been found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It's the largest ever seizure of the animal and 14 people have been arrested.

The scaly anteater is a solitary nocturnal animal only found in Asia and Africa.

It's meat is considered a delicacy by some and its scaly skin is made into handbags and shoes. The scales are also used in Chinese medicine to treat allergies and sexually transmitted diseases.

Police found the remains in frozen containers during a raid on a warehouse in Palembang. They were destined for China via seaports in Sumatra and Java.

@MegaSuperlame face it, asians can't keep their hands of endangered species because they always believe it will make their small dicks bigger by eating them ...

@deathempire70....honestly dude, you "watch out who you say Asian!" Asia refers to the landmass, not your specific culture within that landmass...school goddammit, school! And just because those rich bastards who want exotic stuff, wants exotic stuff...don't mean that they should always get exotic stuff. If the Asians wouldn't kill these precious dying animals, those rich bastards wouldn't be able to buy them. Asia is just like Africa to that degree....always killing a rare endangered species.

@GuerillaInThaMidst Honestly dude, I'm fucking asian and I'm against this. But watch out who you say Asian. This is wrong, but normally it is because those rich bastards who wants exotic stuffs will buy them, and not we Asians.
