Again, many animals that are kept today were brought in this way. It seems like it would be hypocritical to black list a convicted smuggler while keeping animals that are here because of them. In a way, They are Pioneers.
I guess it would matter if He / They had served their time, and only because I would hate to send funds to a fugitive incase they were apprehended before they got around to shipping my animals, (Not to mention people do desperate things in desperate situations.)
Besides, if something like HR 669 were to pass, How many of us would continue on, in direct violation of the Lacey Act? Don't throw stones from a glass house...
