All good points... the best being that over collection is easy to point fingers at but really has very little effect on most populations.

The only exception that I know of is with species that have very low natural predation rates, very slow reproductive rates, and are easy to find. Box turtles being the shining example of a species that is actually adversely effected by taking even just a few ADULT individuals from a population. But most herps have reproductive biology nothing like that of tortoises!
