And this make it less important to you? I mean seriously, what are you thinking. Wild animals belong in the wild. Smugglers disgust me to the utmost degree. Its unbeleivable the numerous ways we as humans find to exploit this planet.

excuse me, but i was not saying that makes it less important.. just that the media always have their facts wrong when it comes to the herp world, and it irritates me.
the smuggler is being charged and getting what he deserves.

most memebers here prefer to buy wild caught fish from southamerica becuause there some species that arent breeding in captivity, so only specimen arewild caught. people buy from smugglers becuase everyone wants something special and unique . asian arrowans is one of the most profitable fish to smuggle in to usa. you can buy a RTG arrow for under $500 in canada and easily sell it for $1500 IN NYC.
