Animal black market exotic

Hayward said the stolen wind of animals upwards in the trade of pet, the zoos of roadside, or the private collections. Others are employed by multiplying programs.

The money is the reason. Rarest or endangered the species, more is high the price which the animal can seek on the black market.
We look at this type of criminality very similar to the flight of fine arts and antiquities, Hayward known as.

Animal flights of the zoos on rise

In the darkness of the night, the robbers armed with wire-cutters and the camps seize species in the process of disappearance of the zoos and the collections deprived in the whole world.

Last month approximately 50 exotic birds were stolen of a collection deprived in the United Kingdom. In December per pair of estimated parrots of African gray were seized by the zoo of Adelaide of Australia.

And a rare lizard of chuckwalla was taken last year of the zoo of town of Oklahoma in the United States.

John Hayward, a former leader of police force which runs the national flight of Great Britain Record-a the data base of the flights animal-known as stolen of exotic and species in the process of disappearance are on rise.

Of 60 zoos of England, it added, 5 were aimed at last year by a criminal troop which took approximately 200 animals, more of which were the exotic birds, the small primacies, and the rare reptiles.
