A vast and previously undisclosed underground economy exists in the
United States. The products bought and sold: animals. In "Animal
Underworld," veteran investigative journalist Alan Green exposes
the sleazy, sometimes illegal web of those who trade in rare and
exotic creatures. Green and The Center for Public Integrity reveal
which American zoos and amusement parks dump their "surplus"
animals on the middlemen adept at secretly redirecting them into
the private pet trade. We're taken to exotic-animal auctions, where
the anonymous high bidders are often notorious dealers,
hunting-ranch proprietors, and profit-minded charlatans
masquerading as conservationists. We visit some of the nation's
most prestigious universities and research laboratories, whose
diseased monkeys are "laundered" through this same network of
breeders and dealers until they finally reach the homes of
unsuspecting pet owners. And we meet the men and women who make
their living by skirting through loopholes in the law, or by
ignoring the law altogether. For anyone who cares about animals;
for pet owners, zoo-goers, wildlife conservationists, and animal
welfare advocates, "Animal Underworld" is gripping, shocking
reading.
