Today everyone knows about the scope of the fashionable phenomenon: animals, whether they're wild or domesticated, are bought and sold everywhere. By catalogue, in supermarkets, over the Internet. Everything is for sale, including the rarest species, threatened with extinction and banned from sale. But the authorities have few means and political clout to fight such practices. Far from any militant argument, we wanted to show the problem in all its complexity. This film gives the floor to all points of view, including those of scientists as well as those of exporters or customers. We will have won our wager if this documentary leads to some consciousness-raising.
