Togo arrests large-scale ivory trafficker.
A small country in Western Africa, which
land size is the 125th largest in the world, with a population of
approximately seven million has been known as a trafficking point for ivory,
whose trade has been banned internationally since 1989. In the small country, there
is a guy who was recently arrested for a charge of trading ivory. He had been
in the business for over 30 years which might have lead to the killing of “dozens
of thousands of elephants.” However their current law could only give him a
maximum of ONE year in prison.
Is that a fair punishment for such a large
scale slaughter of animals? Is their law preventive to stop globally banned
trafficking?
Enjoy reading and learning about an unbelievable
scale of crime and justice in a small country.
