The problem with this argument is that the reptile trade is a drop in the bucket compared to all other shipments that UPS, FedEx, Delta Dash, etc. go through. I don't have any exact numbers on this, but it seems to me that if the entire reptile trade vanished overnight, none of the shipping companies would even notice.
