Following Linda Goldston’s excellent expose in the San Jose Mercury News of
how zoos dispose of surplus animals to game ranches, animal dealers, animal
auctions, roadside menageries, and unqualified private individuals, Alan
Green of the Center for Public Integrity has written an excellent book
which can be purchased directly from the Center.

Excerpts from the book and ordering information can be found at the

The summary of the book as posted to the web site follows:

’Animal Underworld’ : the Book

A vast and previously undisclosed underground economy exists
in the United States. The products bought and sold: animals.
Alan Green and The Center for Public Integrity expose the
sleazy, sometimes illegal web of those who trade in rare and
exotic creatures.

This startling book reveals which American zoos and
amusement parks dump their "surplus" animals on the
middlemen adept at secretly redirecting them into the private pet
trade. And we meet the men and women who make their living
by skirting through loopholes in the law, or by ignoring the law
altogether.

For anyone who cares about animals; for pet owners, zoo-goers,
wildlife conservationists, and animal welfare advocates, Animal
Underworld is gripping, shocking reading.
