This is not an easy subject for sure. So many competing interests and motivations...

It's just not fair. Who ever said life was fair?

Public servants desiring recognition and justification for their existent position in a bureaucracy through prosecutorial misconduct, by assuming fallacious causes espoused by misguided pseudo-authority figures is certainly not the right way to protect our native wildlife, our natural heritage.

Busting backwoods Bubba at the behest of those primarily responsible for the paving over of our Planet just seems wrong.
Nothing more than an easy target to spin as action taken on behalf...that's a laugh.

We do so need to come together as a group to enlighten the public and set the record straight. Truth be told, private breeders, collectors, and hobbyists have done more to: 1) mainstream the animals plight through public awareness and education, 2) created viable captive breeding populations to relieve wild caught collecting pressures, 3) and have generated a legitimate economic niche for the economy.

We have to stop letting others drive the argument and set the agenda. Isn't anyone sick and tired of all this Herpocrisy?

How many want to bet all those confiscated animals perish at the hands of the authorities? Based on history, I'll take those odds.
