I am not saying I condone the import of mass amounts of anytype of wildlife but you are being very narrow minded. First off, the little bit of money that the locals do receive for catching the animals is a vast amount more then that individual would/could have earned doing another meager untrained skill in there home country. So by allowing a "controlled" amount of importation you are creating profitable jobs. Remember that just because $2,000 a year is crap to us it is a considerable wealt for others. Secondly, where do you think all these amazing morphs came from. THe first albino was not amazing hatched from captive bred parents. It was imported by Bob Clark. The same can be said for the original specimen for every morph that we all love so much. So yes I do agree that the importation of Balls is excessive but I do think that there is a need and a place for it, on both sides of the ocean. Todd
