Respuesta:
Illegal trade is a phenomenon that occurs practically in all countries and its repercussions are evident not only in the economy of the industries, but in social welfare, public security and national development itself.
Respuesta: Animal trafficking is the illegal movement of purchases and sales that circulates in a country in order to obtain benefits or advantages. That is, it is a circle that begins with the capture of a being or material with which it is illegally traded and ends at the hands of the consumer or buyer.
Trafficking in protected animals is the third most lucrative business in the world, second only to the profits that weapons and drugs provide.
Thousands of exotic species are trafficked from underdeveloped countries.
It is trafficked with the same animals or with products derived from these animals, such as fur, tusks or feathers. Many species are threatened, such as great apes, lemurs, or sea turtles. And there are others in danger of disappearance, such as dolphins, wolves or otters.
The jungles of Ibero-America are the main sources of the trafficking of species to the European Union, the world's leading importer of reptile skins, parrots, boas and pythons, and second of primates. The business generates profits of hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The rage for exotic species is such that collectors come to pay between $ 500 million and $ 1 million for a large macaw. Illegal trafficking of animals, coming from all over Latin America, has its most important entry point in Spain, which re-exports them to the rest of the continent. In Brazil, more than 38 million animals are captured per year, but 90 percent of them die during hunting or transport.
Trade channels have fragile borders. Traffickers use the same routes as importers to transport animals from Latin America to Europe: direct flights and transatlantic ships. They forge certificates, triangulate and camouflage the merchandise, mix it with loads or send it in double-bottom boxes. Species with and without certificates can be found in the same cage. For example, poisonous snakes with turtles are transported and when they go through customs no one dares to verify their content.
The picture is complicated because international smuggling and drug trafficking mafias from Latin America, Asia and Europe are involved in the sale of species. There is a close connection between animal trafficking and the rest of the businesses that organized crime displays.
