    A good article by Nat Geo on possibly the world's biggest exotic animal and reptile smuggler...

    Sorry if this has been up before.

    Thanks, dottyback. I'll see if I can pick up a copy from somewhere. I've been doing a bit of research into wildlife trafficking etc. now that I'm in Vietnam. It's all really interesting, even if most of it is tragic. There's just a different culture towards animals over here - I saw a chihuahua puppy the other day for sale for 6000VND, which, this week, is about 40 cents Oz-money.
