I have supported curbing, ending wildlife trafficking because I believe that non-humans can be victims of crime (in addition to all the other ways the crime is significant). I have never doubted that non-humans feel emotions, including pain, but also joy. Spending each day with my furry, lively, willful dog-friend has reinforced to me how true this is and certainly not just dogs, but the diversity of non-humans. But more than deserving to be recognised as victims, non-humans need to be recognised as members of multispecies societies. Being a member of a society means having your interests included in the deliberations about the functioning of communities. For me, representing the interests of non-humans in our political processes is how we must go about repairing our relationship to nature and the environment; to stop the next pandemic; to stop the downward spiral of the biodiversity crisis and climate change. As we work towards this goal of representing the non-human, the range of stakeholders in the criminal justice, conservation, governmental, academic, and private sectors must continue to try to collaborate to better understand wildlife trafficking and to improve prevention, detection, disruption, prosecution, and so forth of this green crime.
