Authority calls for new court to help crush lucrative NT wildlife poaching trade

<https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-01/poacher-crackdown-nt-authority-calls-for-more-court-resources/11057372>

"The Northern Territory's snakes and lizards have become prized trophies
for international wildlife collectors, fuelling a booming illegal trade
and keeping authorities on the constant watch for poachers."

Via Muse, who wrote: "We have to stop wanting so hard to be special.
That sort of vanity is what makes it profitable to sell endangered
species as pets."
