This is the title that catches my eyes when i was browsing through my RSS feed this evening. Man fined RM 4,000 for possessing 31 pangolins and not only that, but hurting them. It’s outrageous!

Judging from what has been done and the actions taken, i seriously think that the authorities should revise Wildlife Protection Act. “Heavy penalty should be imposed as a deterrent to others.” This is what has been written in the local news article. Ironically, it’s nothing near to the word ‘Heavy penalty’. There are indeed still alot more to work on in protecting the wild life.

Wildlife protection focus on those endangered one
Endangered because they are rare
Rare because permit are issued to hunt them to rare
This is Malaysia way of protecting wildlife
Kill first, make it less, then protect it
