>>The situations are similar. I did not say exact. Your premise seems to be that they would never do something so unreasonable as to ban thayeri/ruthveni hybrids and that a nationwide ban on the big 9 is reasonable because they have been found feral in just one state, Florida.

I'm not sure whether it's really reasonable, or not. I'm just saying that there is at least some evidence in the one case, and none in the other.


>>As far as what you said about letting those who choose to go underground suffer the consequences of their actions, you seem to have missed the point. The point is that the overall hobby will be weakened, not just that those who go underground will be suffering.

But that would be the fault of the folks who go rogue -- not the fault of the ban.

I would like to explore the idea of microchipping more of the big 9.....but I think it would be too hard to enforce. I think part of the reasoning behind the sledgehammer approach is that more restricted, nuanced approaches are just too difficult to apply in reality. And that's really too bad!
