Hi, I think I mentioned that in my own way. If someone is poaching them. And they claimed to know who, THEN CATCH the poacher. Once they are out of country, and we get them as live animals. Its really our responsibility to do the best we can with them(as they are legal here) I think I beat that subject until is was a bloody pulp.

Catch the poachers before they take more. And it does not matter where they are going, pet trade or hides or soup. Catch the poachers.

I also said in my mean rude way, once out of country, breed them and fill the market(whatever market there is) with captive hatched. That would not be a problem for the pet trade, but I do not know what market there is for hides or meat. I really do not want to know. I would rather think folks would not do that. I know, I am being delusional.

The thing from the very start was wrong. None of us want them poached, do we???? does anyone here want that???? Nor do we want the government to confiscate and kill them. To me, that is super stupid and complete non sense.

Coupled with, in this case, we have someone with facilities, money(he better have) rodents and time. What better place to put them. And this person is not so egotistical that hes afraid to ask for help. Even from me(mr meanie pants)

So yes, the WHOLE NINE YARDS smelled of dead fish. Cheers
