Are you really writing an "Ethics Paper", or are just another humaniac trying to hurt our hobby that we love? It sounds to me that you are going to write your paper one sided against the ownership of herps. Why should we help you do that?

Believe me I hate humaniacs as much as the next guy. But the FACT is that responsible reptile owners make up the SMALLER part of the hobby. It's a secret the hobby would like to kick under the rug, but it has to be dealt with on some level. Ask any rescue operator, or experienced reptile keeper who works at a pet store. Most people that take herps home think "a heat lamp" constitutes a complete understanding of proper reptile care.
