Sounds like miseducation if you support PETA. The ONLY conservation measure that will have any sort of sizeable impact is HABITAT PROTECTION. You can "protect" all the species that you want by implimenting superficial regulations to stop field collection or prohibit keeping reptiles in captivity but in the end these token gestures won't amount to a single species benefiting in the slightest. If anyone doubts my words then name a SINGLE reptile or amphibian species that has made ANY sort of comeback as a result of these sort of misguided efforts. I am talking hard documented facts. Alligator mississippiensis is a special case and does NOT count because it is a large and conspicuous species that is quite atypical among North American reptiles.



Groups like PETA are fueled by more insideous agendas than the "ethical treatment of animals". Their slogan Sounds great right? Wrong! Do some research on these sort of groups and check their track records. PETA is so twisted that they actually celebrated people being attacked by sharks. That sort of thing is not unusual coming from a radical and dangerous group like PETA.



If you think that PETA has a shred of logic behind their actions then go to this link and be cured of such nonsense.



"your Mommy Kills Animals" is a comic strip targeted to CHILDREN by PETA http://www.peta.org/



PETA would take all of our rights to even eat meat or drink milk. Don't believe me? Research it for yourself. The FACT of the matter is that humans are OMNIVOROUS. This means that our bodies are designed to eat both plant AND animal matter. It is extremely difficult and UNNATURAL for humans to survive on a diet of plant matter alone. There is not a single plant that contains all of the essential amino acids that humans require for life.
