SOUTHERN FLORIDA CORUCIA RESEARCH CENTER (SFCRC)



Location: LEE/1.





Granted, in the wild, I have never been to the region so I go on the reports of others. However, I can say from personal experience it is definately so. A young Corucia shows much more contentment and adaptabilty in a parental setting than yanked from this setting and forced to live alone. I have seen both sides of the fence and been on top as well.



Yes, Humans too can be snatched from their parents, recieve no emotional interaction, and survive to adulthood and reproduce. But is this proper? The odds are better with enrichment in the younger stages. They are living things with feeling such as contentment, rage, protectiveness, etc. It may not be as we humans understand it, but they do have individual characteristics and emotions and should be given a certain amount of respect as kindred spirits.



CIRCULUS def. Reptilian social order of marked structure. examples: Monkey skinks and the Gharial.



The purpose of acquiring Corucia zebrata is to provide as natural an environment as the rainforest life they can no longer inhabit.

It should not be for financial gain or a novelty 'mantle piece'.

We are there for them -not vicaversa.



I feel it is a subject that cannot be debated. I have seen the evidence with my own eyes and as such, I cannot be swayed. I do appreciate your letter however and the respectful manner it was presented.



Sincerely,

Brian
