Smuggler Ruining Habitats

Traffic busted a man attempting to smuggle over 40 different animals through the airport. The man had rare tortosises, snakes, spiders, and squirrels. This occured in Thailand, a country who claims to have improved their defense against such incidents.Traffic claims that countries need to buff up their security systems and crack down on black market sales of animal species.
To me this was very shocking because a man almost got away with ruining habitats and possibly adding to the endangerment of some of those animals. If we don't do anything about smuggling it will only get worse and eventually we will disintergrate almost any habitat.
