BKKBrit Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 And will the 'private zoo' have the full weight of the law thrown at them? I'd like to know who the owners are and smack them into their future lives as cockroaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 First the ivory smashed and now apes going home. Good news. Ivory is bad news.......it should have been sold. By crashing it it keeps the market price high and the profit for people who kill elephants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
