John Kerry actually said...

"I believe very strongly that one of the responsibilities of our committee is and always has been to make sure that issues deserving attention receive focus."

"It should not be elephants, rhino, and tigers that are behind bars. It should be the poachers and the smugglers who are behind bars."

"It is just a matter of time before we awaken to poaching's consequences, and if we do not act now, then the time will come too late."

"How shockingly destructive and historically shameful it would be if we did nothing while a great species was criminally slaughtered into extinction."
