Peter, I'm sorry. I can't answer for the third world countries and how they can or cannot do things. Apparently, though, CITES is so f_____ed up they didn't consider that either. Most of what is expected is what can be expected to be available in developed countries. Thank you for pointing that deficiency out!
As for your irrelevant question, I stand by it. I complained about a specific case, you asked a question which I took to be general and I answered that it was irrelevant. As for the case I complained about, what they want to do with their plants is irrelevant - their decision - not one for you or me to decide for them. Environmentally sound or not is irrelevent, period. Carson E.
