Why are Asians illegal again?

They're listed under CITES appendix 1, which means they're critically endangered in the wild. With the US being signatories to the the CITES treaty, all endangered animals under appendix 1 are illegal to possess in the US without a permit under the Lacey Act. FWS has the power and authority to issue permits, they just won't under any circumstances. Getting a permit for an Asian aro is about like getting a permit for a eagle, cheetah or a rhino: it's theoretically possible, but it won't happen.
