Saling of crocodile bags still allowed in Cambodia ?

[Sandman77]

I was shocked on my last visit to Angkor one month ago , how many shops on seam reap sale crocodile leather stuff!

On a cnn report , was a story that other country's try to make pressure

To country's , not want stop saleing

This products, how this pressure looks?

its big business;

my gf's uncle owns a croc farm in SR an there is a big one in Battambang as well

no difference from raising chickens, ducks, pigs, cows ( how many bags, shoes, belts etc are made from Leather?)

for sale

Australia has crocodile farms in the North mainly run by the indigenous people, the leather is used shoes bags and belts, croc in Australia are not an endangered species any more, I have also seen bags made from cane toad skin, beautiful soft brown leather but they did not sell well because of what they were made of

[KhunBENQ]

I am not aware that crocodiles in general are an endangered species.
