Guardian article on trade in Kaiseri

[oceanblue]

This article raises the way endangered animals are traded and the "dark web" role in the trade. There is no mention of true captive breeding or research to supply from captive stock. Do those who work with this newt on this forum wish to comment? Comments may be posted on the website at the moment but it may only be for a day or two.

Is not the Guardian considered a kind of sketchy, tabloid-like publication? Or do I have my UK papers confused?

 

[Bellabelloo]

I think you may have it confused with one of our other tabloid papers.

It's an awful, badly written article.
I know from past experience that this 'news'paper tries to scrape out whatever it can in order to have 'news' to report. I worked for solicitors who got hounded daily by one of their journalists. They also frequently get their facts wrong and also have a tendency to spell names wrong too.

Their second sentence is incorrect. They are going with out of date inaccurate information. It is a hype piece that stretches the truth.

I tried to send my newts out to rob banks for me, but they knocked over a bait store instead.
