Trader Trey
Wildlife trafficker, TRADER TREY (T3) is one of the biggest exotic wildlife traders in the world and is also Jungle Jenny’s archenemy/nemesis.
This sinister evil Trader is currently the #1 most wanted man on Interpol’s Wildlife Crimes list. Don’t ever underestimate Trader Trey’s greed because there is nothing he wouldn’t do to make a buck – even if that means causing the flora and fauna to go extinct!
T3 is always trying to seize Jungle Jenny’s magic bag of animals for his own gain, but always seems to wind up failing in the end.
The Wildlife Trade is any sale or exchange of wild animal and plant resources by people. This can involve live animals and plants or a diverse range of products needed or prized by humans—including skins, medicinal ingredients, tourist curios, timber, fish and other food products. Most wildlife trade is probably within national borders, but there is a large volume of wildlife traded internationally.
The office of wildlife trade monitoring network agency TRAFFIC works to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. However, clamping down on animal smuggling and exotic animal trading remains an ongoing battle.
The international wildlife trade is a serious conservation problem, addressed by the United Nations’ Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES, which currently has 175 member countries called Parties.
The exotic animal trade is also deadly for animals we don’t even see. For every animal who makes it to the pet store or the auction, countless others die along the way.
Animals who do survive long enough to be sold are often subjected to inadequate care. Because caretakers are often unprepared or unable to provide for the needs of animals who are so far removed from their natural habitats, many exotic animals die or are abandoned by their caretakers.
Vulture Vic, Aye-Aye Aye, and King Cobra (KC) are all friends of the villains and just as evil too!
