> 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.
