A shipment of illegal ivory, rhino horns and leopard skins worth HK$41 million (over US$ 5million) was seized in Hong Kong’s second big bust of endangered species products in a month.

Some 1,120 ivory tusks, 13 rhino horns and five pieces of leopard skin weighing a total of 2,266 kilograms were confiscated at Kwai Chung Container Terminal, the government announced on Wednesday.

They were found hidden in a shipping container declared as wood from Nigeria.

How China can pretend they don’t have a problem with illegal ivory shipping?
Where is the international community?
It’s really time to confront China in a different, more confrontational way.
