A search of the dealer’s home uncovered 665 further tarantulas and 72 giant flesh-eating centipedes

The Swiss have a very odd taste in pets?

Or do they set them to fighting each other, and place bets? Now, what? Do they fly these "endangered species" back home where they can start killing people?

Mexican redlegs (or knees as per the article) are hardly “endangered”. They are extremely common spiders, and favored by spider enthusiasts for their mild temperment and tolerance to being handled.

Maxwell Smart crushes Tarantula with jar of Horseradish.
Prince Rupert: “What is that awful smell?”
Max: “That’s just Horseradish your highness.”
Prince Rupert: “That’s odd. It smells just like tarantula.”

Why would anybody want to smuggle tarantulas? There can’t be that big a market for them away from here, there’s barely a market for them here.
