How do you only break even on an illegal animal breeding ring?

Do the tranqs cost quite a bit of money or some other high cost?

I imagine you keep the costs low so as to not draw more attention from the Feds.

Would he leave money on the table? People were making a big effort to get to it, sounds like. That'd be worth 5k/pop at least.

Yeah it’s hard to tell if he only broke even because he got caught.

Can't help but feel a faceless corporation would have gotten away with it. And also that the result is not a loss for the planet.
