The indian mainstream media regularly carries the news of how snakes, and other pets which were being smuggled into india are being detained by the customs.
Most of these snakes, pets are being detained at Mumbai or Chennai airport,and are being usually smuggled from Bangkok, Thailand.
While the mainstream media provides detailed information on snakes and other smuggled animals, it does not cover what happens to the animals which are not intercepted and enter the pet trade market in india.
In addition to the cost of the snakes, animals which are being smuggled, the pet trade masterminds are also paying the airfare of the smuggler.
It would be interesting to find out who is purchasing the smuggled snakes, and other animals.
While government agencies are ruthless in ensuring that online investors working at home, do not get any paid work, and have very low online income, it appears that a large number of citizens have plenty of money to purchase expensive imported pets, and then take of them, highlighting the growing social injustice in india, with some citizens extremely rich and purchasing imported snakes, other animals, while other citizens are doing extremely low end low paying work.
