2 traffickers arrested with a skin of an aardvark
Uganda, 15 Feb 2017
2 traffickers arrested in Kampala with 4.5 kg of pangolin scales and a skin of an aardvark. It's the first time that we saw this animal in the illegal trade, even the traffickers were not sure what kind of skin it was, but it did not prevent them from illegal trafficking it. They arrived to the capital city with the contraband concealed in a cement bag and tried to sell it at a gas station, but they were arrested in the act. They have been trafficking pangolin scales for many years.
