litigator666 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Saw a documentary on wildlife smuggling - discovery channel. Just interesting to know that ls were pack on small bags attached on a carriers body to go accross borders. Theres also some nice wildlife and techniques on how they were brought without customs detecting it. Very interesting Edited July 23, 2013 by litigator666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidlloyd Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yeah I also saw a documentary where smugglers where trying to smuggle out of Australia Green tree pythons stuffed up in socks! The poor little buggers had no chance... By memory 15 out of 20 where dead, and that was only the start of there journey. If the package had made it out I bet all 20 would have perished. The barstards don't give a hoot about anything but themselves! and filling there pockets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litigator666 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) i think it's "Extreme Smuggling". I was just browsing through the channels and didn't bother thinking it was other stuff being smuggled (people, drugs, firearms etc.) and saw some macaws - so it got me interested to watch it. I think they repeat it on foxtel. From what i've watch, the only fish related was on how the Ls were brought in - that could explain the influx of so many Ls now. There's also some turtles - box, indian, pignose, etc. wildlife as delicacy - exotic food for the rich people.

Mistyphoenix Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm wishing I didn't read that link Donny. I'm scarred! I can handle a lot with humans... but when my cat broke his claw I was freaked out by the little bit of blood I saw. Called the vet in tears lol.
