that's sad to see people go to jail due to illegal fish. when i was reading the statement... it needed permits to import them. so does this mean we need permits for asian aro for us to keep them? why doesn't the US legalize the fish!

my understanding was that there very endangered.

The US doesn't issue import permits for species on the endangered list, except rarely to research and educational groups.

That bust happened around 6 months ago. Most will plea, pay fine and probation. No big. I'm sure they already made their money.

The US hasn't made asian aros illegal. The Lacey Act states the US will abide by the laws made by the parent countries that a species belongs to. The home ranges of the asian aro have declared the wild populations to be threatened and have listed the species under CITES. The US Lacey Act merely supports the CITES status.
For the laws to change, change must start at the country of origin. Not in the US.

correct me if i'm wrong but how come canada has it legal to own asian aro? and other european countries? if they are legal in canada (just a border away) why not make it legalize in the US? isn't it weird that it should come from the country of origin where they already allowed canada? i strongly feel it is the US alone who doesn't want it legalize.
