    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the Motion by the Committee Chairperson. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is an important international organization. It is important to mention that human beings never learn. If you look at the history since creation you will realize that a number of animals have become extinct. One has to go to the museums to see skeletons of animals that used to roam this world. It will be extremely irresponsible for human kind to allow the future generations to wonder how an elephant looked like. I urge the countries that are opposing the ban on trade of animal trophies to take a hint from what Kenya has done. Kenya banned ivory trade and it has fought to defend our elephants. One cannot say that their only source of income is ivory tusks. In fact, God will punish countries that depend on ivory trade as their source of income. The CITES meeting is extremely important for mankind and all nations should support CITES convention and they should take heed. Madam Temporary Speaker, God did not create these animals by accident. Can you imagine if one day all the hyenas decided to eat and finish humankind? As a result of that, future generations coming after us will be told there used to be people; I think they will be hyena generations and not human generations because we will be gone. God created these animals and left the animals to roam the world. God created human beings to take care of his creations. In so doing, it is absolutely irresponsible of mankind to destroy and not protect what God created."
