Wow. Hopefully it works out for the guy. I've wondered about situations like this. You order livestock from halfway around the world. The exporter probably doesn't speak good english. The collectors don't speak any english and are probably uneducated. They just go out and catch stuff for a few pennies so they can feed their family. Stuff gets labeled boxed up and shipped, with the appropriate documents. The importer gets it and it's not what is labeled on the box. Off to court he goes and spends his life savings defending himself for a mistake made on the other side of the world.
