A spokesman for the civic groups disputed the claim, saying the workers were directly recruited by a Korean employment agency. He said that each worker had to pay about 5 million to 8 million won ($3,700 to $6,000) to the agency and a deposit of more than 10 million won. The sum is equal to the wages received by an average Chinese worker over five years.

Extractions: HSI condemns zoo plans to import Asian elephants As work on the new Asian exhibit at Sydneys Taronga Zoo heads towards completion, Humane Society International (HSI) has joined forces with other international and national welfare and conservation groups to oppose plans by Taronga to replace the two Asian elephants already living at the zoo by importing four more highly endangered Asian Elephants from Thailand Taronga plans to import a total of nine Asian elephants in conjunction with Melbourne and Auckland Zoos. Australias domestic legislation on importation of live animals requires that the person receiving the animal is suitably equipped to manage, confine and care for the animal, including meeting the behavioural and biological needs of the animal (EPBC Regulations 2000 Reg 9A.05 Welfare of live specimens ). Under the law the importation requires the approval of the Federal Environment Minister, Dr David Kemp. HSI will advise the Minister to reject the proposal on animal welfare and conservation grounds. Behavioural and biological needs not be met HSI does not believe Australian zoos meet the behavioural and biological needs of an elephant. Asian elephants in the wild have a complex social structure and live in family groups which roam over vast areas. Should the importations be approved, we believe the critically endangered animals would be forced to exist in an environment that is a far cry from what is required to satisfy their needs
