Vietnam is a black hole for all types of endangered wildlife - not only are they well on their way to wiping out whats left of their own tiger,elephant. populations, but they are also the epicentre for the international trade in rhino horn,tiger bones, bear gallstones etc. that is devasting the populations of these species right around the globe.:mad:
