I think it's a 6 hour drive to Atlanta from Orlando. How many reptile shows do they have up there each year? Guess where people who want a burm are going to go? I saw this happen between N.Y. and pennsylvania with caimans and alligators.

With the permit system they were probably more successful than they realized at keeping people from casual ownership of roc's. You could get the permit but it was a pita and it was a hundred bucks, most people would opt for something else.

Now rocs are forbidden fruit apparently all those republicans who passed this and run around screaming "family values" while waving their bibles in the air are waving around bibles that are lacking the book of Genesis. Because they either didn't read that story about adam and eve or are to stupid to get it (most likely the latter.)

God tells them you can eat ANY fruit here except THIS one. So what do they do? They get advice about eating fruit from and animal that is an obligate carnivore and eat it anyway. PROHIBITION DOESN'T WORK IT NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL.
