Over the last few months there have been rumours and comments about exports of wild caught animals halting or being discontinued.
There is some truth to this matter as the international trade in dendrobatids has been under scrutiny for some time now. See the free pdf here http://www.vincentnijman.org/files/a88_nijmanshepherd_poisonarrowfrog_biodivconserv_2.pdf
As it links up what could be a smuggling route for the frogs.
As a result CITES has taken up interest in the topic and has begun investigating it (see http://www.cites.org/common/com/SC/57/E57-29-02A2.pdf for the appropriate discussion).
Some points to ponder,
Ed
