They can go on popular dealers websites and see if they're selling illegal spiders but they won't stop anyone from being able to get hold of them. And they have no way in hell of finding every spider that originated in Brazil in the hobby. I'd be interested in just hearing an estimation as to how many they think there are in circulation. Realistically they can regulate the borders more and make sure no more are taken out of the wild but leave the hobby be. There's a chance that once People have finished destroying most of their natural habitat captive bred species will be the only ones left</blockquote>
