Pinging a bunch of folks to this.
Note the penalty for the wildife smuggling in Singapore: $5,000 and up to a year in the slammer.
Now, what are the penalties for running in drugs there? Anyone know? Anyone WANT to know? I'll bet they're a lot harsher.
Run the comparison for the USA as well.
Wildlife smuggling is second on the list of stuff that gets moved on the black market, second only to drugs. The risks are a lot less, though. If al-Qaeda wanted to raise extra cash, this could be a way for them to do just that.
