There is no comparison between the captive bred reptile industry and the roundups. Sorry. I breed and sell a LOT of snakes. They are all many many generations removed from those taken from the wild. I don't keep wild animals. I don't affect the wild reptile populations in this country or any other at all. The problem with Roundups is that there is no take limit and entire populations are destroyed. Sure the snakes are milked, but the reulting venom goes in the trash. That's just a crowd pacifier. I'd like to know just one name of a venom lab that buys venom extracted at a roundup.
