Pangolin saved by Tawau animal lover

TAWAU: A pangolin weighing 7kg (pic) was saved by an animal lover who willingly bought the endangered species despite realising the risk of such transactions.

Ringo Chung said he had no choice because it was the only way he could save the animal from falling into the hands of irresponsible parties, especially those who think these animals are highly nutritious.
