The Wildlife Warehouse: Where the U.S. Government Sends Illegal Animal Goods
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2014
- The National Wildlife Property Repository, a government facility outside of Denver, stores more than a million products of the illegal wildlife trade, from tigers and bears to elephant ivory. These items are confiscated at points of entry around the United States, and sent to the Repository to be destroyed or used for educational purposes. The Wildlife Property Repository is a revealing window into the growing global industry of wildlife and plant trafficking, which has been estimated at up to $23 billion.
The facility also houses the National Eagle Repository, which receives and distributes deceased bald and golden eagles to Native Americans around the United States, who use them for religious purposes.

Should make a museum of all these illegal goods. If people could look at such items maybe they would feel less inclined to own them. Also the entrance fee to said museum would help fund the cause.
Should be free don't forget the poor
I agree
That is a good idea
@@sergioc.6431screw the poor
They’re already in museums yet that obviously hasn’t stopped people from illegally trafficking wildlife.
The unborn baby Tiger made a statement that words could never make!
Not even
Revive the awareness over and over, FIGHT AGAINST WILDLIFE HOSTILITIES. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Naah
Absolutely sickening, where's the aisle with the poachers heads
Don't worry I got you, I'll put in word to my boys to start producing crap made of humans.
There is a bald eagle nesting site near me down in Wheat Ridge.
This world is hell...
I have seen bald eagles eating at the landfill in Beaufort SC.
so sad
Makes me sick to my stomach that they destroyed all of that amazing art. Thats just as much a crime to me to destroy something so rare a beautiful. Most of this shit should be in a museum to show the public how these animals have become endangered
Most of them aren't endangered, or even threatened.
Yeah its so sad. Surely there is a better way instead of destroying it
I don’t agree with destroying these pieces at all.
Trump and his kids would love to get a hold of all these trophies in this place
I gladly would 😌
Why? I wouldn't want someone's else's trophies.
In places like Africa, poaching is an issue because greedy higher-ups force locals from their homes to make room for "conservation spaces"
The ONLY reason governments put funds towards conservation efforts is because it brings in tourism.
Tourism brings in money, and the locals benefit from none of it.
So they retaliate by poaching the wildlife.
My guess? Less wildlife, less tourism
😢
🥺😢😭
Carol Baskin is quaking 😂
Joe Exotic is jackin off
People want to help voice and fight for animal yet they turn the cheek to people with mental Illness or disabilities. Hella duuuuuuuuuuuumb!!
Facts ,but yet the fight for animals is ongoing and mental health.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get some solid DNA from these.
Your comment is lacking context... and I can't read your mind. why would they want to collect DNA, who's DNA the animals or poachers, and what will be gained from such an undertaking?
Imagine if they are people of all races.
Lol this lady, cries about animals that aren't endangered or even threatened then picks up her leather handbag and buys a burger at McDonald's. Total hypocrite.
But cattle arnt even close to being endangered as say rhinos. So go eat a hamburger. And if eagles were as common as chickens than by all means name a fast food joint the "American fried eagle." And serve fried eagle. Now granted eagles were endangered but they haven't been removed from the list so that's something
