‘Illegal wildlife trade must stop’


Sad fate: Rare owls and eagles in Sarawak are being trapped and sold to certain shops and wealthy individuals as trophies.

MIRI: From deep jungles to urban centres, the wildlife trade is a widespread business in Sarawak.

The illicit trade leaves a heart-wrenching trail of cruelty starting from the habitats where these animals live to the longhouses and then to the markets in cities and towns, moving on to certain pet shops and finally right up to the homes of the rich.
