You can play defintion semantics all day long. The fact remains that your group does not support the sale of wild caught. That is counter to the herp industry who does support the sale of wild caught.

That is the million dollar question: Why would people join a group that is working against them?

Answer: Because they don't see how kissing TPWD's bottom on the wild caught issue may come back to bite them in the butt? Because they don't realize that they are selling out the herp industry? Because all they care about is road collecting gray-bands and nothing else matters? Because they are going to do whatever they want anyways because they try and keep their activities a secret?

You guys are not trying to shut down the sale of wild caught that I know of. You just don't support it. Many herpers do and so does the industry. We understand the necessity of doing so. Keeping that door open. Maybe your folks just don't get it.

Ask Texas citizens who use to breed and collect native Texas turtles how they are doing these days. Then you might start to understand.
