Killing insect is illegal in India in the first place. No permits can be obtained neither for collected and nor for export of anything I am pretty sure the laws in India have nothing to do with actual protectection of insects but they are based on Hindu religion. One who is killing a fly perhaps is killing a human who reincarnated as a fly, maybe even his/her family member. |

India is probably the most screwed up country on the planet.
Bodies dumped in the Ganges cause diseases so they brought in giant soft shell turtles from Asia to eat the bodies. But then the Indians ate the turtles, thereby killing somebody’s ancestor.
India is not the most corrupt nor most bureaucratic but combine the two and they win. Or lose.

I have always wondered why and questioned the logic behind worshiping a cow, meanwhile your people are starving to death in the streets. I would be thinking about steaks and roasts instead of bowing down to cattle while my kids and family are looking forward to their next meal! If someone of importance in India could see the revenue potential of foreign trade in legally collected wildlife such as an insect dealer might provide, perhaps then something will change......but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I remember as an 18 year old High School student riding a passenger train across India to Bombay to get a plane to England and them home to the States. As the train approached Bombay, approximately 50+ mile east of Bombay, we could smell the city, an absolutely breath taking stench. We were in Bombay for almost 48 hours. No matter where you went in the city, that nauseating stench was ever prescient. The people stunk, the water out of a faucet stunk, the food stunk, I could break wind with absolutely no effect.
Upon arrival in London, I opened my suitcase and it still stunk. Even after I returned home, when my mother did my laundry, she washed everything twice, and even then, there was a faint whiff of Bombay in my clothes. A gnarly fart was like a breath of fresh air.
To this day I have never experienced a smell so penetrating as "Bombay". Not even "Narf" can top Bombay.

In retrospect I deleted a previous comment because I didn't want to offend anyone. However looking back it really makes me wonder about the priorities of the lawmakers and leaders of certain countries. They have horrid living conditions, and the people suffer, but at the same time they are concerned about the export of a dead bug! Seriously?!? |

Deodorant was nonexistent. Even if they bathed, 90°+ heat with 95% humidity, was no help. The mass of humanity in several cities I visited was something I had never experienced.
Where ever there was water, there were people, the mass of humanity I observed was absolutely unbelievable to a teenager from the USA.
However, and I will make this brief. I accompanied my grandmother to Germany when I was 16 to visit family. It had been 16 years since the end of WW2. This was not my grandmother's first trip.
We traveled near a German POW Camp where thousands upon thousands of Russian POW's were held during WW2. Tens of thousands of them were buried in mass graves, most were starved to death. The stench of death was present, only a whiff here and there, but present.
Since then, I have only travelled to Mexico in 1997. I no longer hold a Passport. I have no intentions of leaving the USA. Unless kidnapped by a horny 22 year old Female French Beauty Queen that is a millionaire. (I can still dream?)
We live in a nation that has been truly blessed by God.
