THIS IS NOT SPAM -- EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT BANS BOOK. SMUGGLED-2: Wildlife Trafficking, Crime and Corruption has now effectively been banned by the Australian Government. The book is an all new sequel to the controversial best-seller Smuggled-The Underground Trade in Australia's Wildlife by Raymond Hoser. Smuggled-2 details the involvement of wildlife officials in Australia and elsewhere in the illegal trade in Australia's wildlife. Furthermore Smuggled-2 shows how many of these officials are also involved in other criminal activities including the drug trade, arms dealings, and so on. Detailed in the book are repeated cases of high-level corruption in Australian Wildlife departments, Police forces, politicians, magistrates and Judges that includes, murders, bashings and other means to silence whistleblowers, including those within their own departments. Phone tapping, burglaries, armed raids and other strong-arm tactics are so common as to be effectively routine. Smuggled-2 shows how wildlife bureaucrats are allowing Australia's reptiles, birds and other fauna to be raped and pillaged and how more and more species are being driven to the brink of extinction as a result of illegal activities, bureaucratic mismanagement, inertia and indifference. Human rights abuses are also routine and will shock most reasonable people. The book exposes scandals that media units of these government departments have spent millions of taxpayer's dollars trying to cover up. Furthermore the international community have up until now not been aware of these Australian Government violations of international law, human rights, etc. Smuggled-2 goes further with a coverage of the illegal wildlife trade in the United States and how corrupt and dishonest wildlife officials there are attacking the very people who are putting their lives on the line to conserve our dwindling species. Already officials from the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (N.P.W.S.), Victoria Police and other government officials have applied unprecedented pressure to stop sales of this book. Two major Australian book distributors have been intimidated by N.P.W.S. officials into not distributing the book to shops, while several newspapers and TV outlets have been effectively bludgeoned into not reporting some of the material within the book. In spite of all this, advance publicity for the book resulted in over 1,000 prepublication sales. Booksellers here are outraged at this illegal censorship going on, but are powerless to act. Most remain silent however for fear of further threats and intimidation - threats that can and will be carried out if neccessary Smuggled-2's predecessor had over 100 reviews - all were favourable. Two so-called reviews that were critical of Smuggled were later retracted after it was shown they contained false and defamatory statements and had been written on behalf of the N.P.W.S. in what turned out to be failed attempts to discredit the book. Smuggled-2 is mandatory reading for those concerned about organized crime or wildlife and wildlife keeping in Australia and the United States. All persons should get hold of a copy of this book as a matter of urgency. It lays out the facts as they are - no lies - no embellishments. Smuggled-2's predecessor was praised by groups as diverse as the most extreme "Animal Rights Groups" to the most cut throat commercial wildlife traffickers. This was because of the accuracy of the information within the book. While critics of the book may not agree with some of the author's conclusions as to how best to conserve wildlife, all agree that Author Raymond Hoser has been meticulous and accurate in his detailing of what really happens in the international wildlife trade, particularly that which isn't legal. Smuggled-2 is 280 pages, printed on 80 gsm white paper, has over 100 illustrations. It is rivetting reading.
