Sorry this one’s not as funny as the others. I read about the Andean bear, which is really cute, becoming endangered because of poaching and I got sad.
It really made no sense that Chinese Traditional Medicine would claim some bear on a continent they didn’t know existed until a few hundred years ago has magical gall bladder that’s worth forking over $10,000. They could literally just fly to whatever country and get a high priced doctor instead.
Anyways, I figuired if anyone deserves to be made fun of, it’s species-extinction-causing, tiger-penis-eating poachers.
