From what i read and have heard as well, a lot of this was spurred on by not the reptile trade per-se.
It was due to trafficking of Exotic Animals and Animal parts. Many of these exotic animals/parts were being sold in private groups. And when i mean parts, i mean ivory, rhino horns and exotic animals as wild caught tortoises and birds. This is just scratching at the surface of the illegal animal trade out there. So who became a viable victim here? Animal Breeders in the US and abroad.
