I'm not sure if I read the original poster correctly but I don't believe the question was, 'could hobbyists head up a reintroduction program'. I believe the question was pertaining to could hobbyists' animals ever be used in such a program?

As you just implied, if hobbyists' were allowed to assit they probably could. Last year I had the pleasure to donate a couple of my own wild caught 'pet' AZ Mtn. King's shed skins to a taxonomic study. Locality data was important and obviously if it had been illegal for me to collect those pyros I would not have been able to participate in the capacity I did. Not that donating sheds is a particularly great capacity, I just used that as an example.
