"A legal robust pet trade provides incentives for collectors to keep a wild population healthy and protected. Strict laws, otoh, encourage smuggling and habitat destruction."
Where do you think the animals in these pet trades originate? Trapping and smuggling. A higher demand for wild animals as pets causes more people to smuggle them to make a profit.

The kind of people that domesticate these animals are usually doing more harm than good. These are wild animals and need to cared for in very specific ways. It is selfish to just think "Oh cool, I can own a monkey!" and purchase one. If we want to do anything to save them, they need to be in the right hands. Wild animals should NOT be pets.

Not to mention that the blurb written about this article sounds more like an advertisement for a pet than anything. This is not the kind of content that should make it to the front page.
