Overview
Peter Laufer asks himself what animals are being smuggled and why they are being smuggled. He attempts to find a connection to the underworld of international animal smuggling and talks to the hunters, traders, breeders, and customers who contribute to the world of animal smuggling. In addition, he talks to those that have legally obtained permits to own exotic animals, such as a young Bengal tiger, and talks to those that work with animals about why Travis the chimpanzee would attack humans in the first place.
Critical reception
Booklist praised and recommended the book for young adult readers despite the fact that it was intended for adult audiences because "This one is an obvious choice for the Animal Planet generation."
