"What your not aware of is that there HAS BEEN reform and lots of it over the last 20 years."

How do you know that I'm not aware of this? How do you know that my family isn't a part of the pet trade? Regardless of my age?

I'm very grateful for captive breeding. I'm grateful for reform. I'm glad birds/herps/fish/exotics aren't imported in staggering numbers anymore. Hell I'm grateful for the work you have personally done with Cyclura lewisi! among (i'm sure!) hundreds of other species, dangerous or not. Do I believe that these legislations will destroy you... idk about that. Do I think that this is a "pursuit of happiness"? Sure, I'll go ahead and believe that. Thanks to the input of people who are quite reasonable, quite knowledgeable, and driven to protect their animals. Very cool!

Do I think that most hots are dealt in a shady manner? No. I think there is a lot of unspoken laws here in the herp community. But that one "person" who "might" sell one in the parking lot behind a trade show... well, of course that doesn't happen . Is there not a lawyer among us to propose these things? There must be.
