what is done with the fish

What a dumb@$$!!! That would be like bragging to a cop that your about to rob a bank just before you did.

LOL I know, but it really does happen!! You'd be surprised at just how many illegal traders are caught that way.

Smuggling endangered species is for people who want to be kicked in the nuts

They should be donated for the MFK raffle, we could have like 300 raffles a month!

a petition will not take them off of the CITES list and will not change the US standing on enforcing all CITES policies

Zoodiver is correct in saying that,”Most Zoos and Aquariums work very closely with local gov't authorities…”. I know several of the large aquariums in San Diego get confiscated aquatic animals a few times a year. They last few I know of were wrong species shipped with out the correct permit to the dealer and the other was more animals than the permit allowed. Then there were all the gobies in the film containers that were being smuggled across the US/Mex border. It’s just sad to see the waste and the destruction that takes place. I guess it’s the darker side to our hobby?
