Still Waters Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sitting in a dimly lit real estate office in a remote area of Pakistan's Sindh province, Naveed Gauri Khan waited for the scorpion broker he had been in correspondence with all week. Khan, who claimed to be a frontman for a Swedish pharmaceutical firm, is among hundreds of others in the South Asian country involved in the lucrative scorpion trade. The scorpions are in great demand apparently for medical research, and according to Khan a black scorpion weighing 60 grams can fetch at least $50,000. http://www.aljazeera...5152297494.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
