>I think we are probably in agreement on what you wrote.

>My proposal is that people in the pet trade, particularly the well-respected folks within the trade (I won't name names for the sake of not wanting to make people uncomfortable), pressure their friends to be responsible pet owners/dealers/etc. And I mean really pressure them. I know this has gone on to some extent because I remember reading in Reptiles magazine 15 years ago about how it's important to avoid impulse buys, be responsible, etc. But let's step it up. Especially when EVERYONE knows that certain places are really ruining it for everyone else.

>I agree that when the government gets involved it's going to be messy and the "solution" will most likely be inappropriate when it comes to actually solving the problem. Let's keep things under control so the government doesn't notice (and, yes, things CAN get worse so it's too late in some ways but probably not in all ways).

Agreed
