Protect Manta and Devil Rays

Hello hello..

I would like to share my current crush to manta and devil rays.  They are one of the unique sea creatures and I love them so much.  Mantas can be found at subtropical, temperate and tropical waters in much of the world oceans.





But now they are in danger!

Mantas and devils are caught for their valuable gill rakers that are used for Chinese medicine.  It is very much in demand till the price can hike up to about $250 per kilogram.
The overfishing activities of these species can lead to extinction! *sob sob*

I think Chinese medicine should be banned! They are harming the animals that sharing the world with us.
