It's a Pangolin, not an artichoke!

Why in the world would even the most adventurous human carnivore want to eat a Pangolin when there are so many other (legal!) meats to choose from?

The Wildlife Department in Malaysia recently seized 100 boxes of frozen Pangolin meat and another 35 boxes of meat still wearing its scales (which makes me sick, I don't know about you).  Here's the story.

Zoos work so hard to preserve endangered species just so poachers can turn around and kill them... but then again, if people weren't buying it, the poachers would soon be out of business.  It's a clear case of "trickle-down blame."
