Yes, that is another general misconception by the public. An accusation the the AR crowd loves to throw around, that we're all getting rich off our pound of reptile flesh. Us, and our wanton mercenary destruction of the environment. Couldn't be further from the truth. The record clearly shows we (private sector) have done far more to conserve wildlife, and at no cost to the tax payer. The inhumanity of it all, just one more fallacious justification for the AR agenda. The AR folks just love to throw those heart-wrenching emotionally saturated red herrings to the media. And the media just gobbles 'em up.

Getting poorer is more like it. It can be a rather expensive hobby.
