Hi Jess,



Long time, no speak! I seen the same disturbing ad you did. I will e-mail you privately on what i've learned since working on that Canadian issue we spoke about before. It seems, for some reason, that Canada is where the dropping point is for illegally obtained PTS'. From there, it's just a matter of the 'correct' paperwork to get them into the US. ( & it is, believe it or not, thru CITES!) I have a case now of a female PTS with what appears to be metabolic bone disease but before I do the diagnosis myself, she will be at the vets tomorrow morning for confirmation on that. She too came from a group shipped into Canada. I cannot say for certain that the PA group you are referring to came into the US via Canada but I would be willing to bet... In that case, i'm not sure US Fish & Wildlife would be able to help. It's always worth a try though so please let us know what you find out.



Take care,



Sherri
