I actually met someone who wanted to buy Tibetan antelope wool

On the plane from Chicago back to Washington, a white-collar worker in the financial industry also asked me if I could find the most precious wool in the world in Tibet. His dream is to own a precious garment made of this wool. He told me almost half a novel of the quality and splendor of this fur, and his eyes gleamed. He said it was a pity that the wool trade was illegal. He asked me if I could pay the Tibetans to find wool for him. Why is this wool illegal, I ask? He said because they are endangered. I said can't they be bred and shorn every year? He said it should be possible, probably because their fur grows too slowly.

From his conversation with me, I think he really doesn't know that the only way to get this wool is by hunting.

I regret that I didn't watch this film more than a month ago, otherwise I will tell the financial white-collar worker on the plane heartbroken, for you, this is just a piece of clothing, but do you know that for the other party to come What does it mean to say? Why do you have to kill so many creatures for one piece of clothing?

Mountain patrols, legislation, arrests, seizures, these are not the most fundamental solution to the problem. Maybe this movie, like "Blood Diamond", can fundamentally tell all buyers: please stop being keen on owning Tibetan antelope wool products. I hope there will be more publicity and reports, like this film, to hit the hearts of consumers. In this sense, I think it may be more effective to create a campaign to protect Tibetan antelopes for wealthy people in the world than to arrest hunters. Because money and profit must be everything. Once the market demand is reduced, all the problems will be solved.
