The Animal Trade is (still) Alive and Well
A group goes under-cover in a exotic animal market.
WARNING: Don’t watch this is you are faint of heart. It is a very sad video.
Exotic animals do not make good pets. They need to live in their native habitats.
They are (most often) acquired illegally, and kept in inhuman captivity.
