                 Not much is known about the mysterious mammal called the pangolin — except that it looks like a scaly anteater, and is so susceptible to stress that it often dies unexpectedly in captivity. It's also quickly becoming endangered despite international treaties designed to protect these intriguing animals. Pangolins are heavily trafficked and killed for their valuable skins, scales, and meat. In particular, there is massive ongoing demand for pangolin scales, fueling a huge illegal trade in many countries. But these rare and fantastic creatures shouldn't be butchered just so that humans can slice off their scales, peel away their skin, and eat their meat. 

                  Not only is there still so much we could still learn about this fast-disappearing species, but it's also our moral duty to defend their lives. Some of the worst pangolin trafficking in the world is in China and Vietnam. We must urge these lawmakers to enact harsher penalties on illegal pangolin traders and pursue more robust species protection efforts. Sign the petition today to demand that the Chinese and Vietnamese governments take action to save pangolins before this fantastic beast is gone for good. 

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                  P.S. Because the pangolin and its habitat are disappearing so rapidly, experts are unsure how many pangolins are left in the wild. Please take a moment to sign this petition so we can save and study the pangolin before it's too late.
