Before eating wild animals
Unfortunately, a few restaurants in Vietnam serve wild animals, even endangered, and most are obtained by illegal means. Some guide books and television programs recommend these places, and ignore environmental issues. Channel Travel Channel recently had re-edited episodes of "No Reservations" and "Bizarre Foods" that shows the consumption of wild animals in Vietnam and Cambodia over the demands of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Vietnam allows "farm" of wild animals is in operation if they pay a license. But many farm animals to get meat from poachers, including tiger parts, the liquid heart bears and rhinoceros horns are smuggled from Africa.
