Petition Lets ban traditional herbal medicines and help prevent the extinction of animals due to poaching
More details
Lets ban the import of traditional herbal remedies (TCM's) into our country to help prevent illegal poaching of Rhino, Elephants and many other endangered animals.
In the past, traditional herbal remedies were used in under-developed countries for health benefits. Times have moved on and these benefits have still not been supported by science. These mythical superfluous remedies have no place on our shelves, as we have found medicines that are scientifically proven to work without the harm of endangered animals.
Make a stand, remove the TCM's and prevent poaching.
