They just don't have the transportation infrastructure to do it on a Global scale.


They have been producing and shipping millions of tropical fish (including marine fish) and gold fish, shipping them all over the world for many years. When I say millions I mean a single farm might produce and ship 5 to 10 million fish a year to ship to the pet trade. Its huge.

They also ship good amounts of all kinds live animals, including reptiles All over the world on a regular basis. (including to the US ). They mastered shipping live animals in mass a long time ago.

A guy like Sammy Li who was mentioned might have trouble getting around and getting his stuff home alive because he's just a comparatively small time jobber who runs around buying stuff, trying to hustle a living selling it over the Internet. He cant afford air condition trucks etc. Nothing against Sammy I think he does the best he can but he is no example to go by.........The guys who run the real places on the mainland are as advanced and professional and well equipped as anyone in the world.
