An Anaheim couple entered guilty pleas for trafficking protected wildlife parts, including bear gallbladders, cougar bones and lion teeth, in a scheme that moved the items from Oregon to Vietnam.
U.S. law prohibits the illegal trade of endangered species, and federal prosecutors have been focusing on operations that ship animal parts to Asian markets.
