AR science is like onions to me, layer up on layer of lies that makes me cry unless the stuff is cooked to taste in frying pan.



Why isn´t there a link to the actual scientific report, and where are the sources and litterature cited?

This is should be a sweet cookie for the scientific herpetological community eat.

The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists should form a position statement on this study. I try to write them, if they don´t reply, maybe we all should?

Dear Sirs



I write you in my capacity as vivarium consultant at reptilweb and as participating member of kingsnake.com Law & CITES forum.

I am contacting you through this public letter which is also posted in our forum.

It was brought to our attention that the Wildlife trust has co-led a recent scientific study which comes to the conclusion that diversity in amphibian and reptile husbandry should be constricted down to a bare minimum of existence.

Some of us terrariumfolk at kingsnake suspect that the wildlife trust is attempting to pass false information as factual science.

Does the ASIH have a position statement in regard to the scientific quality of the studies published by the wildlife trust?

In your experience, what is the scientific merit of the wildlife trust?



Please read the National Science Foundation news report here;

Please reply to our thread directly;

We would greatly appreaciate any statement you have to offer on this important scientific study.

In advance, thank you for your time



Kindest regards
