Wildlife Threatened After Communism
Never thought that there would be a bad side to the end of communism.
Were it not for the collapse of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), more wildlife would be happily fluttering and leaping through the forests of present-day Russia. At least that’s what the Inter Press Service News Agency reported on July 31st. If your response was like mine, you probably just said “huh?” Apparently, the newly rich citizens of Russian demand exotic pets, including such endangered species as lemurs, rare birds, and Caiman, which are sold along with such domestic animals as cats, guinea pigs, and fish.
