    Fo AtW Boom!

    Seven people are arrested in 'elaborate' flying squirrel trafficking scheme | Daily Mail Online

    Seven are charged in 'elaborate' flying squirrel trafficking scheme where poachers caught more than 3,000 in Florida before selling them to buyers in South Korea as 'pets'

    • Poachers set as many as 10,000 squirrel traps in central Florida and captured as many as 3,600 flying squirrels over a three-year period
    • Buyers from South Korea would purchase the rodents in Florida before the squirrels were then driven to Chicago
    • The Florida dealer received more than $213,000 for the animals
    • International retail value of the poached flying squirrels is estimated to be more than $1 million
    • Six of the suspects have been arrested and a seventh remains a fugitive
    • More arrests are expected
