Yes - there are groups shipping chihuahuas out of California to states that don't have as many in their shelters.
But it's altogether grim out there. And many people do many stoopid things..though sometimes it's because they don't know it's stoopid.
I know about the painted glass fish because I saw some in a store, thought they were pretty, and had the good sense to read about them before I made my purchase. I have however bought fish that I never should have purchased and am still mad at myself for NOT researching.
Well. In particular, I bought a rope fish, not knowing they were escape artists, could live outside a tank, and were at the time mostly wild-caught, tending to die within a week.
