North Korea has one of the worst human rights reputations in the world and there is considerable alarm that they will treat these beautiful animals any better. This is terrible, imo. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/18/mugab...trage/?hpt=Sbin News reports last week said the animals, reportedly two of every species in Zimbabwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that if NK is ever publically exposed to the world, there will be horrific human suffering revealed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, politics and "whats in it for us" takes precedence over helping these people. I'm confused with your 1st comment. That some "deny" there are North Koreans in dire need. They are very much in dire need and there has been little exposure of the actual horror that citizens of the country are faced with everyday. Foreign journalists have been able to get out some information - but since the country has been in the grips of Kim Jong Il - and his father before him.... it has not been universally known just how bad the situation was there. I think if there is ever an open door policy with this country - it will provide irrefutable evidence of conditions that are horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
