Permanent ban must be imposed on wildlife trade


WHILE the recent temporary ban by China on the hunting, sale, transport and export of all wild animals in response to Covid-19 is welcomed, a more lasting solution is needed to prevent a repeat of disease outbreaks not only in China but in all countries as well.

This requires a permanent ban on the trade, sale and consumption of wildlife, stricter enforcement of the related laws and regulations, and prosecution of those involved in such illegal activities, especially the consumption of wild animals.
