3 bird traffickers arrested

3 wildlife traffickers arrested with 2 pelicans, 4 young ostriches, a yellow billed stork, a black kite, a crocodile and 5 spur-winged geese. The live animals trafficking ring operated since 2006 across Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania and is responsible for international trafficking of a great volume of threatened species including live hyenas and lions. One of their phones include a long list of contacts of magistrates, governors, colonels, customs officers, enforcement officials and many others that probably served as a corrupt circle of complicity ensuring the impunity of this ring.
