Illegial Macaw Trading happening in Brazil (1 Viewer)

Well, this happens all over the world... especially in Brazil though, where macaws and parakeets (plus numerous other birds) are traded and sold in Brazil for hundreds of dollars by illegial birdcatchers.
It is very sad to see the poor birds walking around on the ground with no place to perch. I knew it was bad, but not this bad! They are in a cage literally on the cement floor with no protection. I wonder how the poor things sleep at night.
Hasn´t anyone come up with a campaign to stop this yet?!
Here is a picture I took from a couple in someone´s yard:
