An intrepid investigation of the criminal world of wildlife trafficking--the poachers, the traders, and the customers--and of those fighting against it Journalist Rachel Nuwer plunges the reader into the underground of global wildlife trafficking, a topic she has been investigating for nearly a decade. Our insatiable demand for animals -- for jewelry, pets, medicine, meat, trophies, and fur -- is driving a worldwide poaching epidemic, threatening the continued existence of countless species. Illegal wildlife trade now ranks among the largest contraband industries in the world, yet compared to drug, arms, or human trafficking, the wildlife crisis has received scant attention and support, leaving it up to passionate individuals fighting on the ground to try to ensure that elephants, tigers, rhinos, and more are still around for future generations. As Reefer Madness (Schlosser) took us into the drug market, or Susan Orlean descended into the swampy obsessions of The Orchid Thief, Nuwer--an award-winning science journalist with a background in ecology--takes readers on a narrative journey to the front lines of the trade: to killing fields in Africa, traditional medicine black markets in China, and wild meat restaurants in Vietnam. Through exhaustive first-hand reporting that took her to ten countries, Nuwer explores the forces currently driving demand for animals and their parts; the toll that demand is extracting on species across the planet; and the conservationists, rangers, and activists who believe it is not too late to stop the impending extinctions. More than a depressing list of statistics, Poached is the story of the people who believe this is a battle that can be won, that our animals are not beyond salvation.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great for snacking!
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
Being a diabetic I enjoy eating these for a snack because they won’t raise your blood sugar. Taste is fine and an excellent source of protein.

Gross Texture - Weirdly Soft
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
These are literally the nastiest possible version of a meat stick I've ever had.
Bought them for the price and for lunches to take to work. As it would turn out, I couldn't give them away to family. Everyone who bravely tried it were met with the same gross, weirdly soft, texture. No matter if it was refrigerated or room temp - it was eerily soft I felt like I was eating baby food. The flavor was... Fine? I guess. It didn't wow me either way, just kinda existed. They are also pretty small, I expected more than 4in per item for the price. I thought the price was good when I thought they were bigger, but when I discovered they were smaller, the price became less worth it.
Overall, I'm not sure who the target audience for these it because adults and kids alike did not like them or their weird texture.

Good 😊
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
I’d rather reviews on these before purchasing them and I didn’t think I was gonna like it. I seen a lot of bad reviews lotta negativity, but I was impressed. They’re actually good a little greasy not too much. They were not mushy at all. Remind me of a slim gym, but not that greasy. I normally eat a different brand, but I really like this and I will buy it again. I recommend it. I wasn’t going to try it because a lot of the reviews weren’t too good that I was reading but they’re good. I like them, but I’m glad I tried it and they are zero sugar.

Delicious and Healthy Snack with Unmatched Flavor and Texture
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As someone who is constantly on the lookout for tasty and healthy snacks, I recently came across these Droewors Beef Sticks, and I have to say, I'm truly impressed. The unique air-drying process, combined with the use of vinegar, cloves, and coriander, gives these beef sticks a fantastic flavor that is not only mouth-watering but also worlds apart from other meat sticks I've tried in the past.
Pros:
Unique Flavor - The combination of spices and the air-drying process creates a taste that is both savory and satisfying.
Texture - The coarse ground beef provides a buttery smooth texture that doesn't leave your hands greasy, unlike other meat sticks.
Keto, Paleo, and Whole 30 Friendly - These beef sticks fit well with a variety of diets, making them a versatile snack option.
High Protein Content - With more protein per ounce than other meat sticks, they're a great natural alternative to protein shakes for muscle fuel.
No Sugar - The absence of sugar means no sugar rushes or mood swings, making it a great option for a healthy diet.
Cons:
Price - These beef sticks might be a bit more expensive than other brands due to their high-quality ingredients and production process. However, I believe the unique flavor and health benefits make the price justifiable.
In conclusion, these Droewors Beef Sticks are a delicious and healthy snack option for those following Keto, Paleo, or Whole 30 diets, or simply looking for a tasty protein-packed snack. The unique flavor and texture, coupled with the high protein content and absence of sugar, make these beef sticks stand out from the crowd. While they may be a bit pricier than other meat sticks, the quality and taste make it well worth the investment. Highly recommended!

Good Food
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have had South African Billtong before and I loved it, so I thought I would try SA Droewars and see if they were as satisfying. The answer is yes! They are delicious and nothing like your typical mass marketed jerky snacks sold in the US. Droewars are lightly seasoned beef jerky sticks and, although I have not seen the numbers, they seem to be only lightly salted (important for me). The meat is not chewy or grisly, so the beef cuts they use must be prime.
This is the first time I have tried the Ayoba-Yo brand and I am happy with my purchase. I am awaiting delivery of several varieties of Billtong from Ayoba-Yo presently and I will report back.
Not inexpensive, but the value is there for sure.
