many people smuggle exotic pet across the state borders like smuggling them from pet stores in New Hampshire into maine, or even across large countries. Smuggling is a large problem in many states, Maine is a prime place for smugglers to bring their exotic animals because many are banned in the state. Fetching a great price for exotic animals is easy in Maine there's actually a very large eel smuggling ring in maine that smuggles eels out of the state.

Why wouldn't people do this, some people may think they are dangerous or its cruel but many can also see it as a way to help stop some of that cruelty they speak
