The illegal pet trade is a multi-million-dollar criminal industry | Wildlife Justice Commission
The illegal pet trade is a multi-million-dollar criminal industry, fuelled by corruption and pushing many species toward extinction. Each year, thousands of rare and endangered animals are trafficked for profit. 🐾⚠️
Since 2016, the Wildlife Justice Commission has investigated these networks through intelligence-led operations, helping rescue more than 13,000 live animals, including orangutans, lemurs, turtles, tigers, gibbons, and monkeys. 🐒🐢🐅
By identifying and exposing the criminals behind this trade, we support enforcement efforts and help safeguard some of the world’s most vulnerable species. 🌍🛡️
Join us in dismantling the transnational networks driving this illegal trade. 🤝
