My concern is that we are required to turn in personal information of a third party without prior consent. It should be that third parties responsibility to report on any needed permit for their own local regulations.



TP&W has absolutely no business collecting data on people from out of state, and they should make it the buyers responsibility to report any non-protected animals under a permit, not the seller. Best deal would be that they had little or nothing at all to do with F1 and later captive produced offspring... If they are captive produce and therefore not suitable for release into the wild then they should not be managed like a natural (wild) resource, it is apples and oranges, they do not manage livestock like game after all. Unfortunately we are a long long way from that kind of relationship with TP&W.



Privacy is a big deal, and if we give it up we will never get it back.
