Wildlife scientists shouldn't post pictures of themselves holding animals, carrying animals, close to animals, or with animals that could be misconstrued as pets. When we DO post these pictures, we should fully explain the context. Otherwise, we're part of the problem.

Six #asianelephants have been killed in #Myanmar since the start of the year. Two were electrocuted by low hanging powerlines, one was killed by an illegal electric fence, and three were poached. None of these deaths should have happened. https://t.co/4fC9nlunKB

This seizure should serve as a reminder that if the criminal syndicate responsible for this operation is not secured to justice immediately they will go and find another 9,500 animals to complete their order. #wildlifetrade #Nigeria @UNODCNigeria @oliverstolpe

.@TheWCS suggests: close live animal markets that sell #wildlife; strengthen efforts to combat trafficking of wild animals internally and cross-border; and work to change dangerous wildlife consumption behaviors, esp in cities. I agree (this is more nuanced than below) @IWTnet
