In a possibly futile attempt to drag my thread back into reality ...

These animal collectors, or hoarders as they are sometimes called, have no limit.

I have an interest in horses. The authorities have busted people who acquired over a hundred horses in some cases, which they could not feed or care for.

I've seen the same thing with cats and dogs. - Jim
Sorry for the hijack Jim.

I think that the concept of "collecting" animals would be no different to certain people than collecting Barbie dolls. Except Barbies are not living beings that have feelings and certain biological needs to be kept alive and healthy.

The people who kill, buy and sell animal parts for "medicinal" purposes are a different breed. They are greedy and selfish people who pray on the insecurities of others.

Chicago is also the second largest city in Poland, but nobody smuggles vodka or sausage.

I knew about Vancouver, but not Chicago. There is so much sausage made in Chicago, why smuggle it? ;-)

I have seen these types of products in herbal medicine shops in Hong Kong. The prices are outrageous, but people still buy them.
