I remember a few years ago CBSA in Vancouver broke up a smuggling ring where Asian families would be used to smuggle everything from exotic birds to fish to corals and everything else in between.

Only reason why I remember it this one family used their baby to smuggle in exotic fresh water fish that were hidden within the bedding of the babies carrier. Ended up they had several thousand dollars of smuggled exotics buried in their luggage and the ensuing investigation found an in-depth smuggling operation that the CBSA and RCMP and Chinese authorities broke up and several arrests were made. The family that was caught received everything from fines to jail time.
