I seem to remember reading somewhere that she is a perhobbiest.com moderator. Here is a quote credited to Kaplan:

"Kaplan says: "I'd like to see a total ban, but I know that is unlikely. It isn't easy to fight a billion-dollar industry. As long as there are people to buy, exotic animal dealers will cheerfully sell, no matter what the impact is on wild populations or on the animals -- or humans."

Ok, perhaps this quote was taken out of context but if not, how in the world can a person with such beliefs be an employee/moderator/associate/whatever at this website? What the heck is going on here?
