Rally To Ban Wildlife Trade

Members of the Korean Animal Welfare Association are holding a press conference and rally at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea, on February 28, 2024, to mark 'World Wildlife Day' and to urge an end to the wildlife trade. They are arguing that the practice of keeping reptiles, amphibians, birds, raccoons, and even mammals like meerkats as pets or for display infringes on the freedom of wildlife. Advocating for a true love of animals, they are insisting on a ban on the trade, emphasizing that ownership of such creatures constitutes a violation of their natural liberties.
