The moon bears' bile is drained, as a cure for various ailments. Rhinos are illegally poached for their horns, as are tigers for their bones. The author, an expert in wildlife extinction, brings his alarm to the pages of this book, in the hope that through an exposure of this drug trade, something can be done to save the animals.
