Thanks for the link. In the meantime I've been doing a little reading on the subject to understand it better.

Non-native invasive species are a huge problem in not only the animal but also the plant kingdom.

I personally do not see a problem with the science behind Rodda's papers, although it's pretty obvious that his findings conflict with the business interests of some in the pet trade. That doesn't necessarily make it "bad science", it makes it bad for business (for some).

Also, I don't really think that this is about a larger issue of animal rights. Perhaps you meant animal *ownership* rights?

Thanks again.
