We live in a designer world and people are not satisfied any more with a budgie or a canary, they want something rare. The more exotic or endangered the animal, the higher the price. For example, one rare hyacinth macaw is worth $45,000. British zoos have suffered a major theft every week for the past few years involving dozens of animals worth thousands of dollars.
Zoo thefts made headlines last when a 3-month-old penguin Toga was stolen from Amazon World Zoo Park on the Isle of Wight, off southern Britain. He was never found. His parents Kyala and Oscar mourned the loss for several weeks. The manager of the Park thinks that Toga must have been stolen to order by professionals.

UK-EU customs partnership 'still on table'
6 May 2018
A new "customs partnership" with the EU - which is fiercely opposed by some Tory Brexiteers - is still on the table, the business secretary says.
Greg Clark warned about the effect of border checks on manufacturing jobs, saying whatever replaces the customs union was of "huge importance".
He added whichever option was chosen would "take some time" to put in place.
Eurosceptic backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg criticised "Project Fear" warnings about job losses after Brexit. He said if the partnership model was adopted, "we would not in effect be leaving the European Union".
But Mr Clark was supported by former home secretary Amber Rudd, while Remain-supporting Tories criticised pro-Brexit "ideologues", saying they did not represent the party at large.
All EU members are part of the customs union, within which there are no internal tariffs (taxes) on goods transported between them. There is also a common tariff agreed on goods entering from outside.
The UK government has said it is leaving the EU customs union so that it can strike its own trade deals around the world, something it cannot do as a member. But ministers have not yet agreed how to replace it.
The UK is under pressure to make progress on the issue before next month's EU summit.
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Clark said the UK would leave the customs union in 2019 with Brexit, and that finding the right replacement was of "huge importance", pointing to the needs of manufacturers like Toyota to avoid friction at the borders.
At last week's Brexit sub-committee meeting of senior ministers, several are believed to have voiced concerns about one of the two options put forward by the government - whereby Britain would collect tariffs on behalf of the EU for goods destined for member states.

Mr Clark said the ministers had had "a much more professional, collegiate discussion" than reports suggested.
And he said the partnership proposal had not been killed off, saying it offered the "very important" feature of avoiding paperwork at UK-EU borders.
But he added that this model was "not perfect" because arrangements would be needed to refund firms if they were only liable for lower UK rates.
He said this, and an alternative proposal of using technology and advanced checks to minimise border disruption, needed "further work", and that whichever was chosen, "it will take some time to have them put in place and available".
The business secretary said it was "possible" this could take two or three years after the UK leaves the EU, suggesting that different elements of the plan could be implemented at different times.
Ms Rudd, a leading voice in the 2016 campaign to stay in the EU, tweeted that the business secretary was "quite right" to argue for a "Brexit that protects existing jobs and future investment". www.bbc.com
