who, then, gets to decide which animals I am "allowed" to keep? You? My state has strict laws pertaining to many types and I follow those laws (= animals I cannot keep). However, I might have an intrinsic interest in one of the many other species you would deem "not worthy" of keeping. I maintain that you do not need to make decisions for me. The thrill for me is learning and deducing and observing behaviors, including but not limited to captive reproduction of taxa which interest me. Simple. Makes my life better and makes me a better person.
