"When we really want something, almost nothing can stop us. I want a world which I do not have to be ashamed of and where people value animals as live beings. I will stand against anyone who illegally hunts, sells and buys animals. I will dedicate the little time I have in this world to efforts to protect the wildlife from being stolen."


"Fighting the illegal trade in animals is a struggle of a small group of people against enormous human greed and ruthlessness. It is a fight for innocent animals that the world could soon lose."
