Actor
Akshit
Sukhija
urges
people
to
become
responsible
consumer
to
stop
illicit
wildlife
trade.
The
actor
talks
about
the
importance
of
World
Wildlife
Conservation
Day,
which
is
celebrated
today
(4th
December).
He
says,
"This
global
occasion
provides
everyone
with
the
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
wildlife
conservation
and
to
be
part
of
the
solution
to
wildlife
crime.
It's
high
time
for
us
to
make
a
promise
to
learn
more
about
wildlife
conservation,
to
spread
the
word
about
the
importance
of
protecting
our
planet's
most
endangered
species
and
the
impact
of
poaching
on
our
environment.
We
need
to
become
a
responsible
consumer
in
order
to
stop
illicit
wildlife
trade."
Akshit
requests
to
shift
on
the
substitutes
which
are
easily
available
instead
of
the
brutal
slaughter
of
an
animal
to
obtain.
"The
sad
truth
is
that
the
world’s
best-loved,
beautiful
and
fascinating
species
are
being
slaughtered
by
widespread
and
dangerous
criminal
networks
that
will
stop
at
nothing
to
get
what
they
want.
And
what
they
want
are
animal
parts
and
products
that
for
reasons
no
sane
person
really
understands,
are
worth
lots
of
money.
There
are
plenty
of
synthetic
substitutes
for
things
like
ivory
and
fur
that
don’t
require
the
brutal
slaughter
of
an
animal
to
obtain,
not
to
mention
how
hard
it
actually
is
to
tell
the
difference
between
high-quality
synthetic
substitutes
and
the
real
thing."
