Wildlife Trade

Sunday July 26, 2009

I'm back on the "Island of the Gods" for a month of R&R with the family and just happened to check out the bird market in Denpasar only to find that the wildlife trade is still thriving. I last visited the market back in 2006. Today I was approach by one dealer offering me young owls in paper bags for US$10.00 each, apparently from Java. Civit cats, turtles, flying foxs, monkeys all on sale.
