To President Xi Jinping:

As global citizens, we applaud your temporary ban on the wildlife trade in China. But a temporary ban is only a temporary solution. Stopping the next global pandemic is in your hands -- we urge you to make the ban on trade wild animals permanent.

China: Ban the Wildlife Trade, Stop the next global killer
106 people are dead.
11 million are in lockdown.
A deadly new virus is going global.

But it all started in one of China's wild meat markets.

Tigers, wolves, and many endangered species are caged and butchered, their blood pooling on the floor -- it's the perfect playground for deadly viruses to mutate and multiply.

Coronavirus came from snakes or bats -- and it's forced the government to temporarily ban the whole trade in wild animals.

Now let's make it permanent!

China's President is facing unprecedented calls for a total ban, and world leaders are demanding real leadership -- if we pile on now, he could cave and stop the trade entirely.

This is our chance to end the brutal torture of so many species, AND stop the next global virus before it mutates -- sign now and pass this on!
