=My prediction. (Animal trafficking)= I think that in Argentina might be animal trafficking because there are lost of strange species that can only be found there, but the governmet is trying to avoid it by giving severe punishments, like go to prison or putting fines.

=My prediction. (Child labour)= I think there are many children that have to work in Argentina, because it is a poor country an the children need the money, obviously there are laws that protect the childreb but they are not consider in most cases.
