A group that has been investigating "animal cafes" that are popular for interacting with animals has pointed out that some animals are at risk of extinction and prohibited from international trade. 2 stores were confirmed nationwide, and 142,419 individuals of 3793 species were handled.
Of these, 9 species are considered to be endangered, and international trade is prohibited by the Washington Convention. There are a total of 10 species of animals that are prohibited from being imported as pets because infectious diseases may be transmitted to humans.
