>>While correct, I've only been following Herp Science and in that area it is NOT only Python Maps that are disturbing. You have major AZA Zoo's freezing Komodo and Fiji Iguana eggs andor young all in the guise of deciding that's best [to keep out of the hands of private Herpetoculture] for the species. You have at least 2-3 species of Cyclura with the AZA admitting they have NO room to breed them leaving them to grow old and die rather than letting the private sector produce them. I could go on and on. The ENTIRE Zoological Science part of our society today is rife with stupidity and questionable morals. While PERHAPS science in other areas is still intact as a viable positive entity our Zoological Sciences are cluttered with scientist that have hidden agenda's and I'm sick to my stomach with most of it. Perhaps on the next Tonight Show with Jay Leno instead of bringing herps there as illuminaries have in the past as in the days of Johnny Carson, Zoos could bring dead preserved Fiji Iguana's and Komodo's and explain what a great job their doing as stewards of endangered species and saving the planet's wildlife. I'm sure the dead Komodo's ect. that are dead only because their gene pool is well represented in Zoo's will be easy to explain to the general populace as an effective way of conserving wild ones. Why don't they do that with Gorilla's for instance. It is well known that the Colombus Zoo Gorilla's at one time were so well represented they were told NOT to breed them. Did they ever make a mistake and have a baby born out of the directive of the AZA? If so I guarantee it wasn't killed as are HERPS. ALL OF THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I BELIEVE ILLEGAL UNDER THE ESA BUT ISN'T EVER PURSUED BY USFWS...Why is that? I'm not sure and perhaps a lot of us should ask that question.....
