Remember, collecting wild herps for profit OR recreation is not a "right"-it is a priviledge (like hunting and fishing). One that could be taken at any time. Does it make sense to alienate the regulators who have our fate in their hands?
But the main reason we try to get along with government regulators and academics is that, quite frankly, we all share one major goal, at least- which is the well-being of wild reptiles and amphibians. Speaking for myself, if I thought for a minute that that goal was incompatible with a healthy private herp hoby, then I would not be fighting for same.
