Barack Obama actually said...

"Wildlife trafficking reduces those benefits while generating billions of dollars in illicit revenues each year."

"I know that the President has raised this issue."

"We need to act now to reverse the effects of wildlife trafficking on animal populations before we lose the opportunity to prevent the extinction of iconic animals like elephants and rhinoceroses."

"Your voice matters: Your ideals, your willingness to act on those ideals, your choices can make a difference."
