OMG! This is a terrible business. It is big in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, Vietnam) and quite significant in China. The demand for illegal wildlife fuels a multi-million if not billion dollar business. Animals in this region are abducted in the jungle constantly. The end up as food for people willing to pay the price. It's quite tragic as soon many of these animals will no longer exist. Africa is also a source of much illegal animal trade, particularly with primates (monkeys). Sadly, there's not much we can do. It's really up to governments to stop the trade but in poorer countries government officials are usually bribed so nothing happens.
