This was an opinion placed by a fellow Trinbagonian, and I would say he/she really said in a few words, what I was explaining in one of my articles ' We Don't Need This ' 04 September. Check this opinion out, and you would see that this is a crime that's rampant world wide. Well done Trini, chao!!

" Poaching
Posted: 2006-09-18 7:05:00 PM
Underworld estimates says that trade in illegal wildlife products and shotgun ammunition in Trinidad is worth some TT$ 35 million a year. Most of the demand for wildlife products comes from outside the country. Unfortunately, it is our wildlife heritage that is plundered to supply this demand. Poaching and the sale of the illegal wild meat is the biggest underground traffic in the TT next to Narcotics. Although some poaching incidents are one-off events, many are part of large organised networks of poachers, traders and smugglers - all controlled by city-based businessmen who are seldom linked directly to the illicit goods. Wake up! You brain dead policy makers. It is time for you to smell the coffee. The establishment and management of a wildlife protection agency is the only hope to control this menace. This agency will liaise continuously with informers, forest officials, and the police to form a network. This information network will be a powerful tool to assist law enforcement authorities to bring about the seizure of wildlife products, and illegal firearms and ammunition and the arrest and prosecution of offenders."
