I agree that both ways are "commercialy collecting" but i think it is justified one way. it is one thing to collect an animal to in turn captive breed it, wich lowers the number of W/c animals in the future. I see no problem with this, even if it is to turn a profit, in fact i encourage it. I would rather see 100 snakes taken out of the wild and given to a commercial breeder, then 10,000 taken out of the wild and sold to pet stores. In one case, the collecting is an un-ending process, in the other, it is simply to start making the animal availiable to the public without taking them from their habbitat.
