Have you ever wondered how much a turtle smuggler can earn? Pokey and I have and we finally found a figure. We are certain the price varies, but two men in Taiwan were recently caught with 5 tiger cubs, 312 water monitors, 174 turtles, and 11 softshell turtles that were on their way to China. Their job was to transport the loot from Ayutthaya to Bung Kan and their income was 20,000 baht (just over $600), less than $1 per smuggled soul for each smuggler. We wish there was a Starbucks they could work at instead.
