«There is some potential for conflict over the need for cooperation from local authorities (in Indonesia) in gathering
evidence against violators,» said Andrew Wood, senior analyst at Business Monitor International.
Per a scathing report in 2010 by its Office of Inspector General, the department chose to prioritize «education» of breeders over punishment, «took little or no enforcement action
against most
violators,» failed to respond to «repeat violations,» and collected insufficient
evidence in the few prosecutions it brought
against criminal breeders.
