HA! You bit on that line... I wrote that like that in jest really, thinking it would get a rise out of a bunch of folks. In truth, by the time I noticed what was happening the willardi being eaten was done - otherwise I would have separated them and attempted to revive it. I had many babies born over the years which were all disposed to fill other permit requests under the auspices of AZ G&F.



This isn't the time or place to get into the laws and whether or not AZ G&F has "insiders" as far as permits are concerned. I am not sure specifically what you mean by that comment? I have worked very hard to justify my permit requests with AZ G&F. At times I get denied in my permit requests too, and that is frustrating scientifically. When that happens it is up to me to get back to the drawing board and show them that my research ideas are valid enough for them to permit continuance. I don't have a problem with that.
