Every year, about 90 million animals are funneled into the U.S. #PetTrade.
About 1/3 of them are taken from the wild — and many are threatened with #extinction.
You don't even need to browse the black market — it can be as easy as walking into a nearby pet store.

A striking blue tree monitor clings to a log. The background of the image is black, making the large reptile stand out even more.
We just sued Fish & Wildlife for failing to permanently protect blue tree monitor lizards under the #ESA — which would ban their import and sale for the U.S. #PetTrade.

Evidently pet trade escapee's like to hang out together. Pin tailed Whydah and a Scaly breasted Munia. Both species seem to be thriving. Peace! #birds #birding #pettrade #invasive #escapee #africa #asia #munia #whydah #peace

Galapagos Leguan: Galapagos iguanas
Great news from #CITESCoP20: International trade in Galápagos iguanas is now banned. Ethiopian puff adders, Stutz’s hinged turtle & the Haitian gall wasp snake also gain stronger protection. All are heavily targeted by the illegal #pettrade! #StolenWildlife #ExoticPetTrade

In this article, De Smedt et al discuss the rise of terrestrial #isopods in the #pettrade and the need for their inclusion in trade regulation. Interested in learning more? You can find their study at doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

The EU is considering white-listing animals that can be kept as pets, on the basis of welfare in captivity, biodiversity, public health and feasibility of trade monitoring - as opposed to a CITES-like species by species blacklisting.
Hope this will survive the lobbies' attacks 🌏 #pettrade

Beautiful birds. Pin-tailed whydahs are from Africa, but — thanks to the pet trade — are becoming common in Southern California. Can you be considered invasive if you are brought against your will? Hmmm. Peace! #birds #birding #birdwatching #pettrade #nonnative #southernafrica #finch #peace
